I have prepared a tutorial for anyone wishing to use revelry to search for a
pattern. There are other things one can do on Revelry, but this tutorial is
for finding patterns only.

 

Cathy wants to make a placemat

I first created an account. It is free. Do not worry, they never send any
ads.

Click on the link called patterns.

Click on the link called pattern browser and advanced search

I Use next heading navigation, N, to stroll through the options to refine my
search. 

Once I get to a heading I down-arrow to the desired choice and press enter.

Craft type crochet

Availability free 

Category home

Attributes Pattern instructions

Yarn weight, worsted

Pattern source type, website and/or ravelry download.

Continue with next heading until you find the search button. Up-arrow once
to the edit field and type in what you would like to search for, placemat.

When the results page loads I will use jaws search command, insert-control-f
and type in my keyword, 

Which is results.

I then, down-arrow a few times and there are my results.

 

I can then find out more about a pattern and choose whether I want to
download it. 

Use Jaws find and the word details.

Click on the website where the pattern is located. 

Alternatively, find the download for free link.

 

Notes, I used the key words loom knitting and did find some patterns for
free. Give that a try. You may be sent to other websites. Acela Phelps and
Denise Layman have free patterns there.

Have fun if you are up for the challenge.

 

 

 

Make this a wonderful day!

Cathy F
