Re. Cornflower Hoodie
Could you please let me know if some instructions of hood part of pattern have been omitted. I have knitted until hood measures 9” but don’t understand which seams at top of hood to join. Photo of hood does not look like this.
how do I get the ‘easy yolk baby cardigan’ as it comes up with an error.
I would like to know how to download the Essential Baby Cardigan without registering and paying for the registration.
Thanks
