BEFORE PURCHASING THIS PATTERN
- Read the license. Purchase of the pattern indicates that you have read the license and accept its terms.
- This is an intermediate to advanced pattern, depending on the options chosen. You must know the following basic stitches: knit, purl, k2tog, p2tog, ssk, casting on, and binding off. You also must know how to knit in the round (instructions are given for double-pointed needles). You must also be prepared to stitch some pieces together. There are more techniques and stitches used, but they are described thoroughly in the pattern.
- This pattern is in PDF format. You will need software that can read PDF files such as Adobe Reader. I cannot provide support for PDF readers.
How to Purchase This Pattern
This pattern is sold through Ravelry, the premier website for knitters and crocheters. You do not have to be a Ravelry member to purchase the pattern. Simply click the button below and you'll be taken to the purchase page.

Ordering Process
That button will redirect you to a joint Ravelry/Paypal page. If you have a Paypal account, you can log in and pay that way. If you don't have a Paypal account, you can use a credit card or some bank accounts for direct transfer. Ravelry and Paypal handle all of the details; I do not get any of your credit card or bank information.
After payment, Paypal's receipt page will include a button that says "Download Your Patterns Now". Click that button to be taken to Ravelry's download page. On the Ravelry page, if you are a Ravelry member you will be told that the pattern is in your library and in your list of purchases. Both members and non-members should see a text link and a "download file" button at the bottom of the screen beside the cover graphic.
Click either the text link or the "download file" button. You may be asked if you want to open it or save it, depending on your browser settings. If you open it, you will need to use your PDF reader to save it if you want to keep a copy on your computer. Otherwise, you can pick the Save option immediately and download it to your computer (I stronlgy recommend this). It is a large file and may take a few minutes to download.
Ravelry will send you an email with a link to the download page, and Paypal will send you a receipt email. You should ensure that downloads@ravelry.com and service@paypal.com are not blocked by spam filters.
The Letters
This pattern includes full information on how to knit all of these letters (click them to see larger versions):
Errata
On Page 47, the first page of the Y pattern, there is a typo in the last sentence on the page where it says, "...pulling snug to form the base of one leg of the X". That should read, "pulling snug to form the base of one leg of the Y".
On Page 48, the second page of the Y pattern, the first sentence says, "Rnds 15-68: Knit." This is the wrong instruction and would make the Y far too long on the upper legs. It should say, "Knit 26 rounds."
