How to upload patterns on the crochet forum

[Copy link]
Post time: 2015-6-4 04:50
| Show all posts |Read mode
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 number
Company name - Pattern number- Pattern name
Ex.: Red Heart Yarn – WT1741- Cutest Little Owl


•  For magazines, Pamphlets or Booklets
Magazine name- Issue Name- Issue Date
Designer Name- Booklet Number or Pattern number- Book or Pattern Name
Exs.: 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:



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 would  like to upload “Amigurumi Cadillac Sofa by AmiEggs”. I’ll search for the following keywords: amigurumi cadillac sofa, Cadillac sofa and Emieggs

tut 02.jpg
4-      However, if I search for “Cadillac sofa”, see what will happen:

tut 03.jpg

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 search  for 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.

tut 04.jpg

They are too many for me to see so I will use the advanced search to search in specific forums ( CrochetPatterns, Crochet Magazines / Books)
tut 05.jpg



tut 06.jpg

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 //www.pindiy.com/forum-268-1.html. Click on “new” then “thread”.

tut 07.jpg

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.

tut 08.jpg

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”.

tut 09.jpg
If I want to post a piece of clothing for a dog, I would fill out the category “Pet = clothing”


tut 010.jpg


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.

Note2: This is about Yarn Weight:

tut 012.jpg



tut 013.jpg
Then choose the file on your computer and wait a while until the upload finishes.


tut 014.jpg

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”.

tut 015.jpg



tut 016.jpg



tut 017.jpg



tut 018.jpg



tut 019.jpg



tut 020.jpg


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

No, there isn't a limit of uploads per day.

The free patterns are the ones we find on the Internet for free. The maximum price for free patterns is 10 coins. When the pattern isn't free, you can charge whatever you want.

As you're a new member, I suggest you to take a look at this tutorial so you can understand how things work: //www.pindiy.com/thread-282074-1-1.html

Ok, My issue that has come around is that my attached .pdf was an 'open file'.  What the heck is an open file.  I have the pattern here, scanned it into my computer in .pdf form, then attached it and listed the coin cost I was asking when someone wants to download it.

Wow! lots of steps but it is well written and I figure if nothing else before I upload a pattern I could always come back make some notes and give it a try. I am sure by the way you explained it I shouldn't have a problem. Thank you so much for your help.:)

thank you for that explanation. One thing - isn't it the minimum read level rather than the maximum read level ie. if you choose lvl 2, only lvl 2 and above can read it?

Have you found the attachment button yet? Don't forget you need to click on "new thread" to see it. See #7 above.  Post time 2015-8-4 20:27

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
