FAQs

1. How will I receive my pattern? You will receive an email with a download link immediately after purchase. The pattern is a printable PDF.
2. Can I print this pattern? Yes — it is designed to be printed and used at your knitting spot.
3. Is this suitable for beginners? No — you should have worked with plain ribbing and be able to recognise a knit or purl stitch by its shape.
4. Can I substitute a different yarn? Yes, as long as it matches the gauge above and is a #5 Chunky weight. Always knit a tension swatch first.
