Welcome to the Ribblr ePattern manual, a detailed guide for crafters, helping you make the most of Ribblr ePattern - our interactive pattern format.
The main toolbar icons sit in the top-left on desktop and in the bottom bar on mobile.
The Go-to menu is located in the top-right corner of your screen. Use the Go-to menu to jump between pattern sections like cover, materials, and instructions. Completed sections will have a checkmark next to them so you can easily track your progress.
Create and manage your projects with our Journal feature. Add notes and pictures about your progress and any modifications you have made. Start by adding a project name (this will apply to all your journal notes, until changed), then select your mood, and add your journal note and picture. Finally, hit the save button. You can set each note as private or public. Private notes are only visible to you, while public notes can be seen by anyone who has access to the pattern.
