Free Pattern: Lucky Horseshoe

A few years ago I had some requests for a horseshoe applique to go on the bottom of my “Big Kids Cocoons” instead of paw prints. With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner, I thought I would go ahead and release the pattern here in case anyone would like to make a lucky horseshoe.
