Getting started with your digital craft pattern
MyNewSkill patterns cover knitting, crochet, amigurumi and sewing. Each listing tells you what craft technique it uses and what materials you’ll need. Choose a project that matches your experience and available tools.
1. Download your file
Use Etsy’s download link for your completed order. Save the original PDF files before opening or printing them.
2. Read before you start
Check the supplied materials list, finished measurements, stitch abbreviations, gauge (when included) and construction steps. Read the assembly section before cutting yarn or fabric.
3. Keep track as you make
Use stitch markers and count your stitches or rows as directed. For sewing patterns, print at the scale specified in the PDF and verify any included calibration guide before cutting.
4. Need pattern-specific help?
Contact us on MyNewSkill Etsy with the pattern title, page or row number, and a description of where you are stuck. A clear photo of your work can help explain a stitch question.
