Free Crochet Pattern: Stingrays
But first, Some puns!
Behold, my Blue Ray collection!
Nonbina-ray pride, y'all; get it? 😉
Seriously, though: With Covid-19 going on over the past year, public aquariums have had to close their doors for the safety of their patrons, their staff, and even some of their charges and/or exhibits. While many have opened their doors again, at least in a limited capacity, some still remain closed, and I predict that number will only go back up with cases on the rise again.
If you’re in the US and you want to donate as locally as possible, I’m sure thatnoaasanctuaries can help you figure out which facility is closest to you! And if you’re outside the US, I’m reasonably sure they can still help point you to someone who can help 😉
If you just want some quick links without the hassle of actually talking to anyone, though, here’s a few:
National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium (This one is the closest to me!)
Monterey Bay Aquarium

I am offering this pattern for free until it is safe for public aquariums to open their doors again. If you like this pattern and are comfortably able to do so, please consider donating to a public aquarium so they can keep things running and their animals and people safe.

Please spread this around, and feel free to link to the aquariums you love when you do! Zoos and museums are also great!
