The chart is the 2nd page of the pattern. If you have the chart on page 2, the first page is there somewhere.
Also, I had no problem getting the pattern or the site at all. Maybe you have to be a subscriber?? Not sure as I am subscribed to both.
I thought that was the virus shawl, and sure enough it is! I’ve made 4 of those, so far; used RH Boutique Unforgettable for 3 of them, and Peaches and Creme 100% cotton for the 4th, which was for a small child.
This is not for beginners the video for this one is not the best one I found one much easier and did this same virus shawl by using another video actually there are 2 good videos plus a chart I made mine with lightweight yarn and a G 4mm hook
If you want the ‘written’ pattern (which I prefer), apparently it doesn’t exist. I really don’t care to sit through a long, drawn out video tutorial (and this one comes in four parts).

The Virus Shawl: I am currently working on one, as a Christmas gift; using Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable – Echo.
Anyone else having trouble with the video and the link to the written pattern?
Yes. It says it’s unavailable
The only way I could access it was to click through to the original website and scroll down for their pattern/video

I still never saw a written pattern, just a chart.
The chart is the 2nd page of the pattern. If you have the chart on page 2, the first page is there somewhere.
Also, I had no problem getting the pattern or the site at all. Maybe you have to be a subscriber?? Not sure as I am subscribed to both.
I’d love to have a written pattern
The shawl is called the virus shawl u tube has videos. I have made 3. I just brought yarn to do two more.

I’ve made 2 if those virus shawls! They really are easy once you get the pattern down, you just keep repeating the same rows again and again.
Here is a link to the written pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/virus-shawl—virustuch
I used this edging on my shawls:

Here’s one I’ve made. There is also a virus pattern for a blanket that is gorgeous and works up just as easy.
video’s don’t work, getting pattern doesn’t work…geesh!
This is not for beginners the video for this one is not the best one I found one much easier and did this same virus shawl by using another video actually there are 2 good videos plus a chart I made mine with lightweight yarn and a G 4mm hook

neither the written pattern nor the video exists!!
