I received the tote, the yarn and the candy, but where is the PDF? How do I get the pattern?

Hello, PDFs are made available immediately after checkout, perhaps link overlooked. PDF of pattern has been emailed to you

Nothing to Fear Here!

"Boo-tiful"! The colors are vibrant, texture is squishy so you want to wear it. The yarn knits so easily and works up so nice. It is an absolute dream to work with. Finished product has a lovely "give". I wish my grandma could have made something with this yarn!
