Hi Angela,
There is no pdf to downlod for this pattern but if you print it, you’ll just get the pattern and not the extra stuff.
How do I get the pattern please. Knitted it as a large bedspread over 40 years ago. Would like to knit it again.
Hi Mary,
I’m not sure what you’re asking? This page is the pattern.

Thank you so much for publishing this pattern. I had a corrupted version of it that didn’t work and I love that I could copy it off your website and paste it to my notes.
