  • PLEASE NOTE that sometimes it was not possible to include the Pattern Keeper chart in the same PDF as the main chart (it was preventing PK from rendering the PDF in-app) – in such cases a direct download link was added in the notes on the cross-stitch key page.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been rough. It’s just been so rough on so many levels for so many people. This pattern is a reminder to take a break once in a while – if you can, ignore the world and focus on yourself.

This free pattern is inspired by the famous plague doctor illustration from the book titled “Monographien zur deutschen Kulturgeschichte, herausgegeben von G. Steinhausen” digitalised by the British Library. The artwork is made available under no known copyright restrictions.
