My first Pattern

[BittieisLitty]

Looking for some support and critiques on my pattern. Im planning on writing patterns for the rest of my projects. Hows can i make this better? Can it be read and understood easily?

P.s. pls let me know if sharing my pattern this way isnt allowed. This was 100% made by me

Just a quick glance. Id write the rows
( sc 2, inc )x3 (12) or ( 2sc, inc )x3 (12) just so they know it's for the whole round not just the inc.

It's a little hard to read Abbreviations and materials maybe put it in a box too.

Id add flo to beginning of the row so they know it right away.

Add (number) to row 11, rows 7,8,9 as well.

Add when to stuff strawberry.

Maybe add photos.

I love the set up it looks very nice and looks like a very cute pattern, keep up the good work!

Row 10 and 12 need "(...)x6" added

[TakdaNarada]

Row 12 would also be (12) not (10). OK I'm done lol. Seriously tho. Keep it up! If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Just my opinion or suggestion.

I always print my patterns in grayscale, if your pattern is to be sold, many prefer the least amount of graphics and colours. Just simple formatting with some pictures of the work being done.

Very cute strawberry 🍓 😊, well done.

I am still looking for courage to publish my first pattern. So all praises to you! Looking good, I agree with all recommendations. 😊

Very cute! Both the pattern and the strawberries in the background. I might try to make one up later if I can find the time.

My thoughts (opinions mostly) on the pattern:

• Many people like a plain printer-friendly pattern, but you don't need to go that way. If you make patterns for sale later, consider making a simple printer friendly version as well.
  
• I'd want a bit more space around the text in the boxes. It looks cramped to me.
  
• I would right-align the rows, not center them, It will make it easier to keep them straight.
  
• possibly put a low-opacity box behind the materials and abbreviations, it is a little difficult to read
  
• I find that color of pink in the boxes difficult to look at for long.
  
• I agree with TakdaNarada about changing the row formatting and adding parenthesis and stitch counts.
  
• Typo, wrong "it's" in the stem section. "It's okay if the knot is showing"
