49I want to browse the patterns I own

Your Ravelry library - purchased patterns, books, magazines, and updates

Before you start
1
Open your library
The library in a browser, showing owned patterns as covers
The library on a phone, with the search box and its three controls

Open Library from the Home screen. This is everything you own on Ravelry: patterns you bought, free ones you downloaded, and the books, magazines and booklets you have added to your shelf. It is your shelf, not a shop - nothing here needs buying again.

2
Narrow it down to what you are looking for
The library filters, offering all items, downloads, pattern, book, magazine and booklet
The sort menu offering title, date added, published and author

A library of any size needs finding rather than scrolling. The search box matches pattern names and designers. Filters narrows by type - All Items, Downloads (the ones you actually own a file for), Pattern, Book, Magazine or Booklet. Sort arranges by Title, Date Added, Published or Author.

Worth knowing: the first time you use the filters, the app downloads your whole library so it can check every item. On a big library that takes a while - it says so on the screen - and it is quick from then on.
3
Choose how it looks
Layout options offering stack, flow, gallery plus, story, essentials and grid

The middle control changes the layout: Stack (a list with details), Flow (a flowing grid where tall covers stay tall), Gallery+ (large cards), Story (full-width images), Essentials (text only, fastest to scan) and Grid (uniform squares). A tick box applies your choice to every list in the app, if you want one way of seeing things everywhere.

4
Open a book, magazine or pattern
A library volume in a browser, with its cover, designer card and pattern information
The same volume on a phone, on its Info tab

Tap any entry to open it. A single pattern goes straight to its pattern page; a book or magazine opens a volume view listing every pattern inside, so you can see what else came with the one you bought it for.

5
What the volume page tells you

The Info tab is more than a cover and a title. The designer card says how much else they have published and in which crafts - a quick way to find out that the person who wrote your favourite hat also wrote forty other things. Pattern Information gives the craft, what it makes, whether it was free, and what it cost.

6
Read the PDFs you own
The PDFs tab listing each file with its size, and view, share and print buttons

The PDFs tab lists the actual files that came with the pattern - often more than one, when a designer ships a chart or a translation separately. Each has its size and three buttons: View PDF, Share and Print. Opening one puts it in the Pattern Explorer with the whole Smart Reader toolset - markers, counters, notes and charts.

See Read your pattern PDFs for what the reader can do.
7
Open the pattern, or the whole thing on Ravelry
The volume actions menu offering share, view pattern and open in Ravelry

The menu on a volume offers Share, View Pattern - the pattern's own page, with its projects, yarns and comments - and Open in Ravelry for anything the app does not do.

8
See what the designer changed

When a designer publishes corrections, an update banner appears on the pattern's PDF area and on the library volume. Apply update pulls the corrected version in without a trip to Ravelry.com.

Before you tap it: applying an update replaces the volume with the new one, and that cannot be undone. If you have written notes against page numbers, check the new version still has the same pages.
9
Look beyond your own shelf
Pattern sources in a browser, ready to search books and magazines
A pattern source search on a phone, showing magazine issues
A magazine issue, showing its author, type and how many patterns it holds

Pattern Sources, in Discover, searches every book, magazine and collection on Ravelry - not only the ones you own. Open one and you get its Info and a Patterns tab listing everything published in it. It is how you find out that the issue you own has eight more patterns you never looked at.

Available on iPhone, iPad, Android, and web at app.stash2go.com
