Getting Started

These instructions are for uploading your patterns as free PDF files for others to download. If you would like to use Ravelry as a store to sell your PDF pattern files, click here for specific information on that feature.

If you don’t have a pattern in the Ravelry database yet, or your patterns are listed in the database but not connected to your profile, please start with this Designers Overview wiki guide! It has all the information you need to get started. There’s even a special tutorial section on adding your patterns to Ravelry.

Once you have at least one pattern in the Ravelry database, and it’s connected to your Ravelry profile, you’re ready to set up your Ravelry store and upload your .pdf pattern!

Account Set-up and Store Management

After publishing your first pattern to the Ravelry database, you’ll see the option to add the pattern to your pattern store. Click on that button if you’d like to add your pattern right away:

После публикации ваш первый рисунок на базе Ravelry, вы увидите опцию, чтобы добавить шаблон для вашего шаблона магазина. Нажмите на эту кнопку, если вы хотите, чтобы добавить свой рисунок сразу:

If you want to add the .pdf to an existing pattern entry, you can do so from the Manage Store tab that you’ll see on your Designer page:

Если вы хотите добавить .pdf к существующей записи образов, вы можете сделать это на вкладке Управление магазин, который вы видите на странице Designer:

Adding a Free PDF Pattern

If this is your first pattern:

When you click on the “Manage Store” tab, the Pattern Store Terms of Use and Pricing window will pop up. Please review these terms of use and the fees carefully. You will need to agree to the terms before you are able to distribute patterns on Ravelry.

Once you have agreed to the terms:

If you just completed the pattern entry form on Ravelry and clicked the “add to my pattern store” button from there, you’ll be taken directly to the pattern’s information page in your Pro account. You can skip to the “completing your free pattern’s information” section below. :)

If you or another user added the pattern page to Ravelry earlier and you are not coming directly from the pattern form, click on the “patterns” link in the Pattern Sales section of your Pro account:

Select the pattern you want to offer as a Ravelry download from the drop-down menu, and click the “add to store” button.

Выберите модель вы хотите предложить для скачивания Ravelry из выпадающего меню, и нажмите "добавить в магазин" кнопку.

Completing Your Free Pattern’s Information and Activating your pattern

To set up a free Ravelry pattern download, you just need to tick the “free” ticky box and click the “save changes” button, upload your pattern .pdf, and then hit the “activate product” button. If you wish, you can also set your own item number in the item number field but that isn’t required.

An activated pattern will have an Active note in your Pro area:

Активируется картина будет иметь активный сведению в Pro области:

Your pattern’s Ravelry page will now have a box with the “free download” button:

Теперь Ravelry страницы вашего шаблона будет иметь окно с помощью кнопки "бесплатно скачать":

Congratulations, and thank you for offering your free pattern through your Ravelry pattern store!

Tip: Watch your patterns for flags/notes on the editors tab of your designer profile page. Ravelers may leave notes about information on the pattern page itself or even ask questions about the pattern.

Editing your Pattern Store

To set up your Ravelry pattern store and offer your patterns for free or for-sale downloads through Ravelry, click on your designer name on the pattern page and go to your designer profile page. You can then manage your store by clicking on the manage store tab.

Now that you’re connected to your design(s) on Ravelry, you’ll notice a couple new things on your profile! You now have a “featured designs” box on your profile page, as well as a link to your original designs at the top of your Notebook page.

As for back, first I knitted a rib edging ___ cm long (длина резинки в сантиметрах), then switched to St stitch and worked for _____cm more (длина до проймы). For raglan I decreased ____ st in every ___ row ____ times on both sides (1- сколько петель убавила, 2 - в каких рядах [типа в каждом 2-м или 4-м], 3 - сколько раз).
The front piece is knitted pretty much the same except for neck. To form the neck I decreased ____ st in every ___ row ____ times (1- сколько петель убавила, 2 - в каких рядах, 3 - сколько раз).
For sleeves I knitted a rib edging ___ cm long (длина резинки в сантиметрах), then worked in St stitch for _____ cm (длина рукава до проймы), increasing ____ st in every ____ row for _____ times on both sides (1- сколько петель прибавила, 2 - в каких рядах, 3 - сколько раз). For raglan I decreased ____ st in every ___ row ____ times on both sides (1- сколько петель убавила, 2 - в каких рядах, 3 - сколько раз).

For finishing I crocheted a couple of rows of sc with a matching contrast yarn. And I weaved a belt with it also.

Finally I applied the applique pattern with a hot i r o n (ток пробелы убери, я их поставила, а то вместо слова смайл выскакивает с утюгом )))))
That's all. Hope these will be helpful!
