This pattern has been designed by myself so it is in UK terminology. It does not follow the usual ‘shop bought’ format. There are 9 pages with clear and easy-to-follow instructions. All my patterns are tested by independent knitters before they are released, so every effort is made so that they come to you error-free.

Although my patterns are strictly protected by copyright, which I ask you to respect, I am more than happy for any items made from my patterns to be sold.
