What I do
This is an outline of what I will check on your pattern, using your style sheet if you have one:
- Size: I will check that any sizes fit the expected outcomes, including within the pattern itself. Also will check that the sizes are correct with any schematics provided.
- Yarn: that all the information that is required is present and that the quantities appear appropriate
- Tension: That the information is clear and present
- Needles and Notions: That all this information is present and accurate and that it meets what is stated in the pattern.
- Abbreviations: That a full and comprehensive list is included and that the use of these abbreviations is consistently used
- Charts/ Pattern Panels: If included are correct to images and fit the design including the abbreviations used.
- Grammar and Spelling: will check for errors.
- All Parts included: check all the parts needed to construct design are included including the making up instructions.
- Images: that any images included are correct for the pattern
- Check Numbers: will check all the maths in the pattern are correct such as number of stitches remaining after decreasing.
- Check overall consistency of language and terms.
- Flow of the pattern for ease of use.
