Layered Willow 0 – 18 PDF Now Available

In addition to releasing the Willow in sizes 14 – 32 yesterday, we’ve updated the 0 – 18 Willow to include layered pattern files.  If you’ve previously purchased the Willow 0 – 18 PDF all you need to do is log in to your account on our website and re-download the pattern files.

All of our patterns released from October 2019 onwards contain layered PDF pattern files.

If you’re new to layered PDFs we have a full tutorial on how to work with them here, but we’re also replicating that information here for ease of reference as well. Let us know if you have any questions and of course, if you have any issues accessing your account or the files, you can send us a note via our contact form!
