Hi -my name is Teresa and I have saved some of your patterns in the past. I want to save this one " Light Lace Throw" but there is NO SAVE PATTERN BUTTON option where it normally is on the NOTES PRINT RATE and COMMENTS line. Could you please help me with this as I want to add this pattern and others to my folders I currently have with your site. Thank You

Hi Teresa, Hmm. I see the Save Pattern button on my screen... maybe try refreshing your browser and making sure you're signed in?

Wow. I like this. It brings back memories of grandma's house, her bed covers, her doilies which are mostly crochet in just one color - white. She also had crochet curtains, table runners and living room set covers. Lovely. Good thing the pattern is just right in front.

What a beautiful pattern for a Light Lace Throw! I really like that this pattern takes only one skein of super saver yarn from Red heart. (one of my favs). The pattern looks easy enough to finish in a few evenings of relaxing on the back deck. I can see this in a light purple. Thank you for the easy read free pattern.
