How to upload patterns on the crochet forum

1-      I’ll show you how to upload a pattern on the crochet forum. Before doing it, there are some rules about writing the title correctly that you may learn:

Topic titles format:

•Company name- Designer name - Pattern name
Ex.:A morning Cup of Jo Creations- Josephine Wu – Baby Panda

•For patterns which has a numberCompany name - Pattern number- Pattern name
Ex.: Red Heart Yarn – WT1741- Cutest Little Owl

•For magazines, Pamphlets or Booklets
Magazine name- Issue Name- Issue DateDesigner Name- Booklet Number or Pattern number- Book or Pattern NameExs.: Magic of Crochet – Issue 29
          Love of Crochet- Fall 2013
          Leisure Arts – 2749 – Corner Bookmarks to crochet

Please, respect the word order stated above.


2-      The crochet forum has been slip into two forums:
[*]       Crochet Patterns
[*]       Crochet Magazines / Books



3-      I’ll show you how to upload a crochet pattern. The first thing you need to do is to search for the pattern you will upload to see if it’s already on the forum. I wouldlike to upload “Amigurumi Cadillac Sofa by AmiEggs”. I’ll search for the following keywords: amigurumi cadillac sofa, Cadillac sofa and Emieggs





4-      However, if I search for “Cadillac sofa”, see what will happen:


5-      The pattern I would like to post has already been posted by someone. So, I need to choose a pattern that nobody has posted yet!
If you find a duplicate thread, please report it using the report button on the pattern page.Please, include a link to where the original pattern was shared. Your reports are greatly appreciated!


6- I have a pattern called “Ela Amigurumi girl pattern by Studio Karma Pattern”. I’ll searchfor it to see whether it’s already on the forum or not.When I type the keyword “Ela” there is 1000 threads related to it.


They are too many for me to see so I will use the advanced search to search in specific forums ( CrochetPatterns, Crochet Magazines / Books)






By using the Advanced search feature, there will be less results related to the keyword I chose. After changing the keyword to “amigurumi girl pattern”, “girl pattern”, “Ela amigurumi girl pattern” and “Studio Karma Pattern” I saw that nobody has posted this pattern on the forum yet so I will do it now.
7-      To post this pattern I need to go to the http://www.pindiy.com/forum-268-1.html. Click on “new” then “thread”.


According to the crochet rules for Titles format (Company - designer name – Pattern name), as this pattern doesn’t have any numbers, the right way of writing the title would be:“Studio Karma Patterns – Cihan Sahin– Ela amigurumi girl pattern”. The designer’s name isn’t on this pattern so I searched for it on the Internet. Please, do not write the words together (like this: Karmapatterns – CihanSahin) or in capital letters ( like this: KARMAPATTERNS – CIHAN SAHIN) because it may cause problems in the search.


Note1:About the kind of pattern I’m uploading, there is only one option for me to choose. It is on “Toys and Hobbies= softies”. A lot of people have also been choosing “Pet= toy”.

If I want to post a piece of clothing for a dog, I would fill out the category “Pet = clothing”




As the same way, if I would like to post a Crochet bone (this is a toy for the dog), I would fill out the category “Pet = toy” because that’s the toy for an animal!It is a good idea to be familiar with the options in English. For instance, a “puppet” is not the same as “softies”.
Puppet =A movable model of a person or animal that is typically moved either by strings controlled from above or by a hand inside it.Example: A La Sascha - Sascha Blase- Fox Hand Puppet -English
Note2: This is about Yarn Weight:









Then choose the file on your computer and wait a while until the upload finishes.



This pattern is not free but I just want 5 coins for it. If you want to change the “Read permission”, do it before clicking on “Ok”. The maximum Read permission allowed is “level 2 = 30”.























After you post a pattern, it will be checked out by the moderator. It will be approved soon!

I know how to attach but the tool bar where you can find attachments and other things does not show, when I click on new it shows for a second and disappear, I think it is something to do with being new or having permission now I am on level 2 and still this bar is not showing at my side :) thanks for help
