hey, i really don’t wanna sound like a karen here ASHWKDBWK but my pattern recently got declined because a similar pattern already exists. however, i just saw a ton of different patterns that are all exactly the same, just with different colors (one was red, one was blue, one was purple, etc.) the pattern i made was a minecraft flower, and it got declined because of an existing similar one which is sideways, and has more similar colors in it than mine has, so i’m just a little confused about why i just found a ton that aren’t different versions of the same pattern but look exactly the same???? i’ll attach a photo if i can

If you look at the patterns that you talked about there are a few differences from each of the patterns (i.g the design on the inside). Your pattern probably got declined because the same pattern that you submitted is the same as the other except it is not flipped on its side.

I hope this helps! 😄

to help your patterns getting accepted you should try to make your patterns different from any existing ones or add extra details to make it different

I recommend watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nCJH8ROpEs which is by Masha knots and she explains how moderating works and what patterns get accepted and declined. (it may be out of date so also read the FAQ to see the updated rules)

hi there! mod here! i recommend politely messaging the moderator who declined your pattern in the future, because we are always willing to explain in more detail and offer advice when possible.
