King’s day is one of my favorite holidays. Everybody in is a happy spirit and has the orange fever. There is food, drinks and fun on every corner of the street. And the most fun thing for the kids (and grown up’s) is the flea market. Whether you are buying or selling, it is one of the most remarkable things on King’s day. This pattern for the King’s Day rug you can find here. The ice cream truck and the small items on the rug are pattern you can find on my Etsy and Ravelry stores.
