Pebble Spotter Blanket crochet pattern - digital download with printed option

Pebble Spotter Blanket is quick to make, using just two main stitches, crocheted in rows before an easy border is added in rounds. 

Made with three colours, it could just as easily be a scrap yarn blanket or made in one colour to match your decor. 

It’s the perfect size and weight for cosy winter snuggling in the house or blustery days down on the beach.

I operate a ‘pay what you can’ scale for my electronic/downloadable single patterns.  I usually charge £5 for these patterns and to encourage access for all crafters, these are now available on a scale of £3 - £7 and you chose what you can afford within that scale. 

Please note that this doesn’t apply to my hard copy patterns, which remain priced at £5 and come with an automatic digital download.

Postage and Packaging

You can read all about P&P here.

The P&P costs applied are very transparent.  No additional costs are added on, you simply pay for the cost of packaging and the cost of postage.  I don't offer free P&P because what that usually means is that the cost of P&P has been added to the cost of goods.  I think it is better to assume that my customers aren't daft and would rather have transparent P&P costs than the pretence of 'Free P&P' with inflated prices on the items that they are buying.
