Do you have a pdf or word document of this pattern please. It’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing. ?
I don’t, but you can create your own PDF file with green Print Friendly button at the end of the post. You will be able also to remove pictures if you don’t need them and print only the instructions. Thank you!
I can’t figure out step 3 and the rest. It is not close enough to see. Also not slow enough. Beautiful pattern and I love it. I tried to enlarge it on my phone, it won’t allow that. Any way to see it better?
Thank you.
I am sorry that the pictures are not large enough for you. Have you tried to use a computer? It has a larger screen. Also, I highlighted with red color strands where you need to draw a yarn in steps 3 and 6. I hope this will help. About video – have you tried to pause it? You can always pause the video whenever you need it.
This cord can be a little bit tricky at the beginning. But when you figure out how to make it – it is easy. Years ago, when I first tried to make it, it took me a couple of attempts to figured it out.
Thank you. I have been trying to figure a way to make a waist-band tie for a child sweater. This will be a big improvement from my improvised version. Thanks for sharing!
