      Dear Lene,

      Sorry for my late reply! Of course you can translate the pattern if you need to. If you want to share the pattern in danish – thats fine too, as long as you make clear that it is originally my pattern and link it to the page where the original pattern can be found!

      Thank you and enjoy it :)
