This cowl was inspired by my hometown staying true to the catchphrase “Minnesota Nice” during the recent ICE invasion. I’m offering this as a free pattern. In lieu of payment, please take time to do something helpful for your immigrant neighbors to show you care and are there for them. If you’re unsure of action to take, consider donating to one of the following organizations:

MONARCA
Immigrant Defense Network
Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota (ILCM)
Stand with Minnesota

I’ve included a blank chart if you’d like to customize to your own hometown/state - please share if you do!

There are charts to knit with either two colors or three colors.

Shameless plug for my friends at Cocoknits. I could not work a chart like this without the Maker’s Board and Magnetic Ruler.
