This is adorable and I’d love to make it but each time I attempt to download and print the pattern it says I have to pay to join Scribd. Am I doing something wrong? That’s not free if I have to pay to join.
This is an old post, and unfortunately Scribd’s policies on old files is to archive them and then require a paid membership to access. (At least this was their policy the last time I checked, which admittedly was several years ago.) That sounds like what has happened with this file. I am sorry for the inconvenience. –Anne
