Step-by-Step Guide to Access Your Purchased Patterns
Follow these simple steps to locate any pattern you've bought on Ravelry:
- Access Your Notebook: From any page on Ravelry, look for the "Notebook" tab located at the very top of the page. Click on this tab. It's important to click the tab itself, not any dropdown menu associated with it.
- Locate "Purchases": Once inside your Notebook, look to the left side of the page. You will find a menu with various links. Look for the "Purchases" link, which is typically found underneath "Contributions" or similar categories.
- Browse Your Purchase History: Clicking "Purchases" will take you to a comprehensive list of all the patterns you have bought on Ravelry. Here, you can view your entire purchase history, including the patterns themselves and details about the stores where you purchased them.
Why Use the Purchases Section?
The "Purchases" section is your central hub for managing all your bought patterns. It allows you to:
- Re-download Patterns: Easily access and download the PDF files of your patterns at any time. This is especially useful if you've lost the file, got a new device, or need an updated version.
- Review Order Details: Check the date of purchase, the designer, and the price of each pattern.
- Organize Your Library: While not a direct organizational tool, it provides a master list you can cross-reference with your personal project queues or stashed patterns.
