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.
