You have taken away the reader/customer ability to print these wonderful patterns!! Please reinstate this option. I really like this and would probably make it a little longer in the front. Very nice. Thank you.
I’m not sure why Deanna was unable to print or save on a USB. It works just like it always has. This looks like a long time to knit. I like those kind in the winter when I’m inside more.
Thank you for sharing your patterns. I’ve enjoyed making them.
Good morning,
I was wondering about this pattern. I’m hoping I can word this so that it makes sense.
It says to bind off the pegs 1-87, then join yarn with peg 88. I’m thinking that means that after binding off 1-87, the yarn will be at peg 88 and then I would just keep going on the pattern from peg 88 to the end. Is this correct? Thanks for your help.
Yes, at this point, you will be working on those 2 sides that fall to the front of the body. You need half of the stitches (1-87) for one side, then the remaining stitches for the other side.
