Thank you
Unfortunately the only PDF that downloads at this point on 10/2 is the the lace stitch, not the top. Is this just an oops? I thought the pattern would be for the actual top itself. Thanks! Annette
Hi Annette, there are 2 PDFs that come with the pattern – one for the stitch and one for the top! You should have both in your Ravelry library now đ Let me know if you’ve any questions, Sarah
