Thank you
Hi 🙂 You can use online versions of the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free, because it takes a lot of time to make the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. Hope for your understanding 🙂
Dank je wel voor dit leuke patroon

Please make the free patterns where we can copy and print. Please. Please. I cannot work from the computer screen. Thank you so much!

How do I get the free giraffe pattern? I have logged in, but I keep getting the area where I would have to order it for $1.99.
