Bride's Handkerchief designed by Kim Guzman © Aug. 1998 Email to kim@crochetkim.com This pattern is copyrighted and provided here for your personal use only. This pattern may not be sold or published to other websites or electronic mailing lists, etc. Please do not distribute this pattern to anyone else. Distribution of copyrighted patterns will reduce traffic to my website. Please adhere to this policy when using this pattern. Note for 2008: This pattern is one of the free patterns available on my website which may have been available for as long as a decade. During 2008, I plan on trying to focus on these patterns. Where suitable, I may rework the design using current yarns. Or, I may change the pattern writing style. In the past 10 years, my writing style has changed, so I want to make sure that everything is still workable. In some cases, I may be re-designing some things to provide a better fit. Again, these patterns are old. So, they can no longer be considered something representative of my current work skill and experience. Where I formerly was only able to produce designs for drop shoulders, for instance, some things may be redesigned to my current standards of modified drop shoulders, waist shaping, etc. Whatever time will allow.
