wow thanx for this free pattern im definetly making these pud hats for xmas regards di
Great project but it needs to be condensed to make it user friendly. Make the lines of pattern become one. Not all spaced out as in pattern on screen. Thanks Nancy
this is just up my mothers street, she is looking for xmas patterns with the xmas pudd on the front of the jumper adult and kids sizes, if you have any hints on where to find this it would be of great help.
i like it but there are so many steps and processes
Awesome hat for Christmas, keep up the great work!
