So Long Rosie, Thanks For Showing Us We Can Do It! 7 Knit & Crochet Patterns To Pay Tribute To Rosie the Riveter!

In 2018, Naomi Parker Fraley, a woman who one scholar claims has the most legitimate claim to Rosie the Riveter’s legacy, died at the age of 96.

Rosie the Riveter has long been a symbol of American feminism and women’s economic power … she is an icon. So pay tribute to her in yarn, below are a few of my favorite Rosie-themed patterns.

Hi! Thanks for including my Rosie the Riveter doll in your blog. I was super happy with how this pattern turned out, and I smile whenever I see her on display.
