How to Use the Pattern Library

The Pattern Library is where all your saved patterns live. Think of it as your personal collection — any pattern you create and save ends up here, ready to re-download, edit, or rename whenever you need it.

Saving patterns

You can save a pattern from any of the tools — the Pattern Maker, Text Generator, QR Generator, or Designer. Just look for the Save to Library button after you've generated or created a pattern.

  1. Create your pattern using any of the tools.
  2. Click Save to Library (you'll need to be logged in).
  3. Your pattern is saved and will appear in My Patterns.

Note: You need a free account to save patterns. If you haven't signed up yet, you'll be prompted to create one — it only takes a moment and no credit card is needed.

Viewing your patterns

Go to My Patterns in the sidebar to see all your saved patterns. Each pattern shows a thumbnail preview, the name, and when it was created.

Click on any pattern to open it and see the full details — the chart preview, thread list, stitch count, and download options.

Re-downloading patterns

Lost a file? No problem. Open any saved pattern and you can download it again as many times as you need. Both PDF and PNG formats are available, just like when you first created it.

Editing and renaming

  • Rename — click the pattern name to edit it. Handy for keeping things organised when you've got a few patterns saved.
  • Re-edit — for patterns created with the Pattern Maker, you can load them back into the editor to make changes. Click Edit in Editor to pick up where you left off.
  • Delete — if you no longer need a pattern, you can remove it from your library.

Free vs paid storage

Here's how storage works across the different account types:

  • Free accounts — save up to 5 patterns. Enough to keep your current projects organised.
  • Standard subscribers — save up to 100 patterns.
  • Pro subscribers — save up to 500 patterns.

If you hit your limit, you'll need to either delete some older patterns to make room, or upgrade your account for more storage.

Patterns saved during a trial or subscription remain in your library even if you later move to the free tier. You can still view them - you just can't save new ones beyond the free limit (5).
