Thank you for purchasing the Türkmen Goat's Head Socks Pattern
Please click this link to download the pattern.
Note that the download file is over half a gigabyte in size and will take a while to download.
After downloading the rar file linked to above, check the size of the file. It should be at least 521Mb in size. If it is less than that, then the file may have been corrupted during downloading. In this case, delete the file and download it again.
OK, I have the rar file, and it looks the right size. Now what?
A rar file is a container into which a group of files have been compressed to make that group of files take up less space, which also makes for a slightly faster to download. After you have downloaded your rar file, you will need to uncompress and extract the contents of the rar container (in this case the pattern and its associated files) to somewhere on your hard drive so that you can use them. In order to use the files inside the .rar container, you will need to use a software program which is capable of uncompressing the rar file and extracting the files you need from inside the rar container.
If you don't have any unzipping software installed on your computer, follow the links above to download the software.
OK, I have the software. Now how do I use it?
Here are some links to online tutorials on how to install/use your software:

For more information on uncompressing rar files on your own operating system, google searches are helpful.
When the unpacking/unzipping process is complete, you should be able to see the following:
(i) a folder called GoatsHeadSocksPattern. This is the folder which contains all the photos (.jpg files), PDFs and videos (.ogg files), as well as the HTML (webpage) file containing the pattern.
