QUESTION?
Just Won't Print - or - Printing is Small -> what happened? Here are three things you need to do to print:
1. OPEN - your PDF with Adobe. Adobe.com is free to download worldwide.
2. HARDWARE - Most are able to download to their smartphones but it all depends on your own personal hardware. Don't see a DOWNLOAD BUTTON?
That means your hardware (phone or tablet) might be outdated for this function. You need to USE A LAPTOP TO DOWNLOAD.
3. YOUR PRINTER SETTINGS - Make sure your own computer is set to print at FULL SCREEN/SCALE-TO-FIT-MEDIA.
Your files will be available to download once payment is confirmed.
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
No, due to the nature of digital files, there are NO returns, exchanges, or cancellations. All sales are final.
Don't see a DOWNLOAD BUTTON?
That means your hardware (phone or tablet) might be OUTDATED FOR THIS FUNCTION.
So HOW can you DOWNLOAD?
You need to USE A LAPTOP TO DOWNLOAD.
HARDWARE (is your phone too "old") worked before but not now?
Most are able to download to their smartphones but it all depends on your own personal hardware (phone or tablet). Etsy continually upgrades features and some upgraded features require the newest phones with the most current features. For example, seeing a Download Button, being able to download from phone or tablet, etc.
No. You purchased a digital download.
YOU MUST DOWNLOAD yourself because that is like your "RECEIPT" -- meaning it PROVES you received your download.
All communication must stay within Etsy environment.
You must download from your personal account that you made your purchase from so that means that ONLY YOU can access your PDF Instant Download!
Modern equivalent yarns need to be researched. But why? Most vintage yarns were manufactured by the companies who created the patterns and both no longer exist - vintage yarns do not exist anymore.
As you know, yarn choice is a crucial decision - recommendations are not given.
Now, all that being said - I do give an Exclusive Supplemental Gift with tons of info but that does not mean that it has the specific info you are looking for; what is great is, sometimes 😃Reviewers will actually state the yarn they used! 😃 Whoo-hoo!
Once you purchase the pattern, you can research yarn based on the information provided in the pattern. Some clues to look for are the descriptive words and ply, for example, 2-ply or 4-ply, etc.
Here are three things you need to do to print:
1. YOUR PRINTER SETTINGS:
Make sure your own computer is set to print at FULL SCREEN/SCALE-TO-FIT-MEDIA.
2. Open your PDF with Adobe. Adobe.com is free to download worldwide.
3. You must PRINT OFF on a larger piece of hardware which means A LAPTOP ---> not a phone or tablet. [READ ABOVE: "I did NOT get a download link on my phone, why?"]
VintageBeso specializes in LARGE print.
Vintage Patterns are PATTERNS.
Usually one picture and only written instruction.
Vintage Patterns are NOT TUTORIALS.
These Vintage Patterns are what I call "bare-bones"...not the "user-friendly step-by-step-by-step" patterns of today.
Vintage patterns are ORIGINAL PATTERNs FROM ORIGINAL DESIGNERs that were created over 70+ years ago. These are ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS that everyone learned crocheting from in the 1970s; but, if you are someone who needs a lot of guidance then THESE PATTERNS ARE NOT FOR YOU.
Still want to try?
I offer extremely low prices so people feel safe to TRY something NEW which is actually VINTAGE. Relax, be easy on yourself, and follow the directions EXACTLY and you will achieve the results shown.
Yes.
This tiny Etsy shop only sells WATERMARKED PDF Instant Downloads.
As stated in the shop header. As stated in every individual listing. As shown on all pics.
ALL PDFs ARE WATERMARKED. Pics are WATERMARKED.
That means your PDF Instant Download WILL BE WATERMARKED.
ENGLISH ONLY.
Vintage Beso Shop has both U.S.A. and U.K. patterns...ONLY.
BEFORE YOU PURCHASE:
Generally, this information can be found on the 1st line of every individual listing.
AFTER YOU PURCHASE:
Also indicated on name of PDF pattern - UK or USA.
Vintage patterns were usually printed in small fonts. But why?
Because manufacturers wanted to give their customers the entire pattern in one shot or wanted to give multiple patterns in one shot. So what does that have to do with the font size?
Well, let's say you have one sheet of paper that was printed for the masses only one time...what could the manufacturer do? Shrink! Shrink the font, sometimes to a seriously miniscule size!
That is where I come in! Oh yeah! What do I do?
I ENLARGE the pattern. An entire pattern may originally only be a few inches or half page - may now be five pages long! You will be able to easily read the printed material...per page.
My listings take hours to create to help your ease of enjoyment.

Super je suis très contente

I don’t like a lot of things about this pattern. I thought it would be easy (because it says easy) but I find it’s a lot more complicated than a beginner pattern. I also have trouble reading it because of the watermark my brain literally cannot comprehend half the pattern because of it. It’s still an alright pattern but this is definitely not an easy pattern and you have to remember every single row you do and remember where to change the color and stuff and it’s just not a good pattern for me. That’s why I gave it 3 stars.

I'm a long term crochet and knitter, but I do not her this pattern right. Struggling with the parts where you change colour

The title is a bit deceiving, as it says it is a pattern. It is not a written pattern, but a graph. Thankfully it was a simple graph, and I was able to write out a pattern for myself, so I didn’t have to stop and count each row/color change while crocheting. It does turn out very cute when done, but I wish I would have known I was buying a graph rather than a pattern.
