Today across the U.S. children will be celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday and I didn't want to be the exception. I made a cool pattern to share with all of you and hope you like it as much as i did.
If you make this and post a picture of it on your blog/facebook please include a link to this pattern. Also, I would love to see your creations on my facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Paper-Needles-n-Sweets/252330694896083
And of course if you don't crochet, you can always order one from my facebook page.
