Hot Days and Cool Free Patterns

I so missed blogging yesterday due to one of those sinus/migraine, stifling hot days. I'm recovering and ready for some free cool patterns.  Since most of the country is hot and getting hotter I thought it would be a good day for some cool patterns to get us thinking lower temps. Grab your hooks and needles and dive into the clear, cool free pattern pool.
