Hi Alli. If you could email me, I can send you the PDF. It’s orgucusirin@hotmail.com. See you ♥
Beautiful work. my next project. thank you!
You’re welcome ♥
It would be nice to be able to print out the full free pattern as I travel and I haven’t a way to carry my laptop around with me. Too bad because it looks like it is a very nice piece.
when you say 4 ply do you mean a #2 or #3 yarn aka fingerling or baby yarn?
I Mean worsted weight yarn Ruth.
Hi, thank you for this fun pattern!! Plan to have it in line to make after a few others. I have a question…you say at row 4 to repeat rows 2 and 3 til blanket is as long as we want, then there is a row 5…that doesn’t appear to fit at all with the pattern as there is no “bubble”. Please help me understand this.
Is this uk or us terminology for the stitches ?
I am using American terms.
Hi Sirin, this blanket looks amazing could you send the PDF to me please? My friend is having a baby and I’d love to make her this! Many thanks, Allie x
