The Rose That Grew From Concrete Pattern
** This is a PHYSICAL printed pattern that will be delivered to you or needs to be picked up in-store. **
Description
This design is inspired by the poem written by Tupac Shakur and is intended to celebrate the people (a.k.a. roses) that have grown from a crack in the concrete and continue to defy the odds each day as they struggle to bloom and grow. Our world is a better place because they exist. Let’s support each other, take care of each other, and (more importantly) love each other!
The Rose That Grew From Concrete is knit flat on the bias from the right cast-on to the left bind-off edge to create an easy-to-wear and modern off-center triangle shape.
