ACCESSIBILITY
The accessible version of the magazine is a standalone digital file which comes packaged with all digital editions of the magazine. The text is all black, 24 point sans serif font, no italics, with fully written directions. All patterns have been specially formatted and tested to be read clearly by screen reader and read aloud software.

The individual pattern is available in both US terminology and UK terminology. Please be sure you are using a copy in your preferred terminology. I recommend that you read through the pattern before starting.

I sometimes add extra resources for my patterns, e.g. yarn substitutions, adaptations, styling suggestions or helpful video clips as updates on my original blog post for the release, so consider checking it out here.
