Hi ๐ You can print it using PrintFriendly – if you are unfamiliar with the free online print service I’ve written a tutorial to show you how easy it is to use. Some sites don’t have the link installed on their blogs (I have it on mine) so there is a work-around available. https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/how-to-make-a-pdf-from-any-post-online/ Hope this helps!
