Upon further research, we found a pattern by Julia Marquardt. But there’s a catch, it is written in German!

Not to worry though, there are other patterns – and even videos – translated in English that are based on Julia’s pattern. Thankfully, we do not have to learn how to speak or read German to be able to make this famous virus shawl crochet pattern.
