Some Maybe Helpful Patterns

These are patterns I've found that may be useful when you have a disability. These patterns are not guarenteed to be accessible themself.

I tried to avoid linking to Ravelry, as it causes some users significant problems, so I have warned when Ravelry is linked.

Patterns are free unless said otherwise.

Dont forget to check out the Accessible Pattern Index!
