Handwork Patterns Bank

As a Handwork Teacher at our local Waldorf charter school, I find it very easy to find out what Steiner's suggestions for handwork projects and very difficult to find actual patterns to fit those suggestions. As such, this list is a compilation of skills and patterns for all the projects that we do at our school. This is, of course, a work in progress and will be updated as I compile each pattern for each project.
