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 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
