LOL, you have to love Princess Diana and how clever she was with messaging … This pattern originally appeared in McCall’s magazine in 1984 and was donated to p/hop in 2011 by the designers, Joanna Osborne and Sally Muir, to raise money for Médécins Sans Frontières/Doctors without Borders (MSF).

You can help keep Diana’s life’s work alive by downloading Muir and Osborne’s iconic black sheep sweater pattern and donating to Doctors Without Borders. The pattern is free, even without a donation, but please donate if you can. Doctors Without Borders does good work around the globe.
