These new and updated patterns can be downloaded from the Patterns page on the Wool-Aid website. Each of the 29 patterns available there meets Wool-Aid guidelines as written, with no modification needed. They were all designed by members of the Wool-Aid community on Ravelry and are included with permission; these patterns are free for charity, non-profit, and personal use.

All items created with these patterns for Wool-Aid should be knit with 80%+ wool yarns, according to Wool-Aid Guidelines.
