Must Have Been Fixed!
I had no problem getting the pattern. Perhaps the problem has been fixed, because it's there. Will be easy for me as I have done several of the full-size. one-piece, diagonal blankets and the pattern is the same. But I do like the visual the chevron makes in this version.

“Pattern” download is tassel illustration
Yup - just what the title says. Jo-Ann’s incompetence when it comes to technology strikes again! Maybe they’ll fix it… maybe they won’t. Meanwhile, enjoy your illustration of how to wrap yarn around your hand to make a tassel.
