I like to download the patterns and then print them out and annotate and count on the pattern itself. I don't see where I can download this pattern to my pattern files.

Many of the patterns on this website are not downloadable, this pattern can be printed from this screen to create a hard copy of it.

I'm not sure that this is the correct place to leave my comment, but since I can't find another, I will proceed here. I was notified last week that I had won the allfreekntting drawing for a sweater kit. Yesterday, the yarn, pattern, needles, etc, arrived. We are knitters kit, complete with The Petite Wool (100% Peruvian Highland Wool) and pattern for the Easy Krysten Sweater, by Krysten Ritter, is just beautiful. The yarn is just scrumptious, soft and cuddly! I so appreciate allfreeknitting and the opportunity to experience new yarns and patterns, with videos and instructions. It i such a great resource! I'm excited to get started! Thanks, again! Connie

I am on row 21 of the first chart in the country cottage shawl and keep getting 7 stitches leftover. Am I suppose to reduce stitches or do I continue in the pattern

Hi dicocco122 4732286, Unfortunately the only version of this pattern is in chart form. Please find the symbol key at the bottom of the page for further assistance. Hope this helps! -Editors of AllFreeKnitting

I would prefer if this pattern were fully written out as I do not know how to read charts!

I am through the first chart. The climbing vines chart has a stitch indicated by a single diagonal line that is not represented in the key. I looked up standard chart stitches, but most say this is symbol means SSK. I tried that, but it seems to be decreasing a lot of stitches. Can someone provide direction please? Thanks so much - I don't want to abandon this project as it is intended for a gift. Carla
