Its a beautiful cloth but i dont have the pdf program you are using, is there any way i can just get a copy of the text?
get.adobe.com/reader/
Why does one have to register to get a copy? I don't like having my name and passwords all over.

I would love to do this but do not want to register to get it….sorry….will not use your stuff
The pattern is right there. Why do you need to register? For what? And Adobe PDF reader is free. Why the huffiness?
If you click on the "menu" button in the top left hand corner it gives you other options (print, etc.).
Thank you so much for your generosity in posting your free patterns. As a new crocheter, I can't tell you how helpful it is to me to find patterns in increasing difficulty. I will certainly be shopping your Ravelry site as soon as I have a bit more skill!
