I usually look through pinterest for pattern (and it 99% of the time lead me to this site) but looking through some people’s to do lists i was wondering… do y’all have any tips to find patterns ? where do you look ? what keyword do you use ?

You could look for things that you are interested in or you could check the similar patterns of patterns you like or the creators of patterns you like.

I love to look through the photos. I will narrow it down to the amount of strings I want and just go from there.

Hi @marie_k , a method I do when I'm not searching for anything in particular is basically going down rabbit holes to find hidden gems 🤣 (pattern that are really good but, not very popular yet). -I start on the homepage and look at the recently added photos. Then, I click the first photo that really catches my eye. -Next, I go to the profile of the person who made it and I raid their to do's. I open patterns I like in new tabs. - I look at the similar patterns to those and so on. All the while adding what I like. I found this cute pattern#130605 using this method. I'll probably downsize it a bit and make it. Hope this helped, Macrame Maven |

I generally find patterns by doing exactly what you're doing, looking through other people's to-do lists! lt's kind of like out-sourcing some of the sorting.

search “patchwork” as a keyword. i doubt you’ll be disappointed they have patterns for pretty much ALL aesthetics and they’re so cute

if you’re making normal patterns, then i usually use the filters for number of strings and colours, and i’ll do one type of bracelet at a time. for example i’ll do 12 string normal bracelets and i usually limit the colours as well to 6 colours. and then set the order to either loves or ratings, then go through it. otherwise i look at photos of patterns i like, then go through those users to dos because if they made one pattern i like they also usually have saved other similar patterns 🙂. also if you go on the actual website and not the app, if you go to some of your favourite patterns there’s a “similar patterns” section underneath, i’ve found a lot of cool patterns that way!

I honestly just look thru pictures without filtering strings, size, etc. It’s very random but I find really good patterns this way and I see what they would look like too. Sometimes I look through the main homepage (the b in the top left corner) and just look through that. Hope it helps : )
