Hello,
The manufacturer of these latch hook kits (Caron) have changed the way that they make their product and they are no longer making them with the pattern printed on the canvas. We aren't sure what caused this change but we found out about it around Christmas time and the new kits that we get now are this way. Caron does have a website for their product and it's www.yarnspirations.com. Thank you!
