One reindeer family, three ways to make it.
The same reindeer walks across a beanie and sits on a C2C blanket; its snowflakes fall on a cowl. Every PDF comes in A4 and US Letter.

The pattern engine
Every number is counted twice.
We draw the chart. The engine writes the instructions from it and refuses to make a PDF until every check passes.
See it in 3D
Turn it around before you cast on.
