Thank you for liking my free pattern so much, you would like to print it.

To avoid printing more than you intend to it might be wise to copy and paste into a word document on your computer.

Also please print only one copy for your self. Refer your friends to this blog and please do not sell any of my pattern. You wouldn’t want anybody else gain financially from your work!

Thank you and happy knitting!
