You should see a button at the bottom of your screen that says shop,

Press it, and you should see a screen that you can set up a shop on. I’ve already set up a shop so I can’t show you that exact screen. Then you can scroll down and see a place that says new ePattern, click that and you can make your pattern!!

I though support was anything that someone needs help with, because she needs help with ribblr epatterns, which is something to do with figuring out ribblr

I thought she needed help with making patterns in general and the support space is for bugs/glitches

Welcome to the Ribblr Community! You can find some help in the Help Center

The “my shop” section Ribblr Help Center | My Shop can help if you want to add patterns into ribblr!

For actual pattern writing, you can research techniques and stitches! You can also look at how other people write their patterns and find a style you like!

A lot of makers find stitch counts helpful, so yes, include them! Stitch counts also help make sure that all stitches are accounted for!

When starting a project you plan to make a pattern for, make sure to write down each and every step since it’s quite easy to forget to do so :sweat_smile: and take plenty of pictures! The more pictures, the better. Pattern making is a lot of trial and error, so don’t feel too defeated when something doesn’t work out!

And be sure to put your patterns through testing if you do plan on sharing patterns! Putting your patterns through testing can help find errors and make sure that things make sense in your pattern so that it’s easier for others to make your patterns!

Hello welcome!! I love to make patterns of simple amigurumi snakes and birds. Some tips that I have in making amigurumi patterns:

  1. I always start my projects like this:

6sc in mr (6)

Inc x6 (12)

(1sc, inc) x6 (18)

This kind of pattern is what I see commonly in amigurumi plushies and I think that it easy for others to understand. Parentheses to me are very useful in grouping anything that’s repeated like the (1sc, inc) x6. And showing you the correct number of stiches you are supposed to have at the end (18)

  1. Anytime there is an Inc in the pattern, you gain 1 stich.

Example: your first row has 6 stiches. You Inc all around for your second row. Now you have 12.
3.
4. Anytime there is a dec or invdec you take away 1 stich

Example: let’s say you are making a body for a animal. The body is shaped like a pickle. You have 18 stiches after you completed the long part. You want to decrease now. You want to copy the increasing part of the body. The increasing was: (1sc, inc) x6 (18). to turn that into decreasing: (1sc, dec) x8 (12)

Here are some tips that I found for working with ribbuild (pattern editing on Ribblr)

  1. When I started making patterns on Ribblr. I looked at several different patterns to see what to do with the editing platform. After I made my first pattern I looked at it to see if it was ok and what I needed to work on.

  2. I add lots of headers and subheaders to show parts of the pattern. I also add pictures to guide people in the challenging bits of the pattern.

  3. I like to describe my materials and put links to them when I add the materials.

  4. I find it easier to work on a computer when editing patterns.

  5. For the measurements you can measure the length, width, height, you can also mention how long it took you to make the project.

I hope this helps you a bit! You can always check out my patterns for inspiration!
