The Woolmoot pattern creation interface

An overview of the creation page before you get started: discover what the sidebar, tabs, and each element of the interface are for.

Go to the page

Sidebar

Located on the left, the sidebar gathers key information about your pattern and the main actions. On mobile, it appears at the top of the page rather than on the side, but its content remains the same. From top to bottom, here's what you'll find.

Language flag: Flag illustrating the original writing language of the pattern. Handy for quickly identifying which language the pattern was written in.
Pattern title: Dynamically displays your pattern title as you entered it in the Information tab. It updates in real time whenever you modify it.
Button Save pattern: Allows you to manually save your pattern at any time. During an auto-save, the button text changes and a green dot appears: it confirms that your pattern has been saved, then disappears after a few moments. An orange dot means you have recent changes, different from the last save, that have not yet been saved.
Button Preview pattern: Lets you get a first preview of your PDF, only in the original writing language. This preview is entirely free and unlimited: it does not consume any of your translation or PDF generations. Its sole purpose is to show you what your PDF looks like before any final generation. You cannot download the preview PDF.
Incomplete profile alert: Important notice indicating that your profile is missing information (shop name, contact email, social network link, website link). This information is optional but contributes to a professional and complete image on your PDFs and your shop. Once your profile is complete, this block disappears entirely from the sidebar.
Minimum information required:: Block summarizing the minimum required information to generate a PDF preview. These are the basic elements every pattern should contain: a helpful reminder so you don't miss anything. Once all these requirements are met in the pattern, this block is no longer displayed.
Tree: Tree automatically generated from the content of your pattern. Each element you add updates this structure. Opening or closing a section here applies the same action in the editor, and vice versa. Clicking on an element automatically switches the tab to the editor (unless it's already active), then scrolls the page to the selected element. Each element is illustrated with its icon for easy identification. Rows display their row number, followed in brackets [ ] by the total stitch count.

Tabs and content

Tabs let you navigate easily between the different parts of the creation page. Each tab has its own content, detailed in the following steps of this guide.

Builder: This is where you create the core of your pattern: rows, images, notes, and sections. This part is detailed in step 4.
Informations: Tab dedicated to the information that appears in the PDF and defines your pattern: its original writing language, name, cover image, and the various materials used (hook size, yarns, tools). This part is detailed in step 3.
Design: Here, you configure all the style and design options for your PDF: predefined templates and customization settings (colors, typography, structure, background, pages, headings, images, notes, footer). This part is detailed in step 5.
Translations: View all the stitches, abbreviations, and terms used in the pattern, along with their translations in all languages. You can also manually add translations for your custom stitches here. This part is detailed in step 6.
Settings: Groups all pattern-specific settings: counting rules, custom stitch addition, usage rights. This part is detailed in step 3.
