Winter Chill Shawl Tutorial

New free pattern and video tutorial! Pattern includes both written and charted instructions. You can download the PDF HERE, or read below on how to get the free pattern in knitCompanion.

This pattern is available as a free PDF download and as a free pattern in knitCompanion. To get the pattern in knitCompanion (iOS and MacOS), open the app and look for the little shirt icon on the right side of the screen that says “Designs”, and search for “Winter Chill”. When you use the pattern in knitCompanion, the pattern is set up with all of the premium kC features. 🙂

Further instructions for adding Winter Chill kCDesign to your knitCompanion/Create2Thrive Stash:
1. Goto Create2Thrive.com
2. Add Winter Chill to your cart (https://www.create2thrive.com/shop/product/winter-chill/)
3. Checkout (this is free, the checkout step will add the Winter Chill kCDesign to your stash)
4. In knitCompanion Tap Designs on the right side and Create2Thrive at the top. Login to your Create2Thrive account if needed to access your stash and download kCDesigns into kC.
5. Tap Local/iCloud at the top, tap the kCDesign, and tap KnitNow to generate your fully setup custom project.
A short tutorial on this process can be found here.

One note – when you purchase a pattern in kCDesigns, it is linked to your Ravelry library and automatically added there. Because this is a free pattern, it won’t automatically link to your Ravelry library – you’ll need to add it manually in Ravelry.

We have an audio podcast! VeryPink Knits, Knitting Q&A is available in your favorite podcast app, or here on my website.
