General improvement and bug fixes
As we’ve updated you here, we’ve added clarifications to section 7 in our Terms and Conditions on the 13th of October.
Update available on all devices! Download our app on iOS and Android for your mobile devices!
Advance search (NEW!)
Our search just got smarter. You can now search for a term, tag, pattern name, shop name, or even yarn type on all devices and filter your search using the new set of filters. You can also use the ‘sort by’ in conjunction with the filters.
Tunisian Crochet (NEW!)
Tunisian crochet just got upgraded with its very own category and interactive charts support!
Designers - you can now use our interactive charts builder to add Tunisian Crochet charts.
Gift patterns (NEW!)
The holiday season is upon us so it’s the perfect timing to introduce a new feature - gifting patterns! You can gift any user on Ribblr using their email address or username. Simply click the gift icon and enter their details. We’ll automatically email them to let them know what an awesome friend you are!
Send patterns to testers (NEW!)
This one is for our designers!
Apart from being able to gift your patterns, you can also send patterns to testers before publishing them. Go to your shop, click the settings icon next to any pattern and then click ‘Gift pattern.’ We’ll notify the tester that you’ve gifted them your pattern.
Sale price (NEW!)
Another great addition for the holiday season!
Designers - you can now run special sales on Ribblr.
Crafters - watch out for exclusive sales
Follow friends (NEW!)
Some of you are already familiar with this new feature as we’ve released this one early.
You can now follow friends on the community! Simply search for a friend’s name/username or click on a user’s profile and then click the ‘Follow’ button.
Link to shops on the community (NEW!)
Finding shops has never been easier. To continue our support for independent designers and to help you discover shops easily, we’ve added direct links to shops on the community which appear on designers’ personal profiles (and profile cards).
Tag links (NEW!)
You can now click on any pattern tag to search for similar items.
Stitch tutorial automatic translation (NEW!)
We will now automatically show you the abbreviations list and video tutorials (found at the top of each craft category page) in your language, based on your language preference!

- Designers can now select yarn colors on mobile too
- Maximum interactive chart size has been increased to 23,000 cells (i.e 150x150)
- You can now get a copy of your interactive chart when generating a PDF copy of your pattern

- Fixed: a bug causing several iPad models to crashes when running the Ribblr ePattern tour

We hope you’ll enjoy these new features and improvements. As always - we welcome your feedback!
