Go to the Ravelry website and get a username and password so you can log into the site.
Log on to Ravelry and go to the "my notebook" tab. Click on "contributions" from the pull-down menu. Once you click this, you must choose the "add a pattern that you designed" option. Choose this option for both free and for sale patterns.
Check the search option to see if your pattern name is already in use or has been added by someone else.
Choose and enter a designer name for yourself. This can be your first and last or first and middle name, but it needs to be a realistic name. Choose your designer name carefully since all your designs will be listed under this name on Ravelry.
Enter as much detailed information as possible about your pattern.
Click on the "save" button at the bottom of the page--this is very important.
Add photos of your pattern. When you click "save," you will be directed to the pattern page. Simply click on the photo tab there to add photos of your pattern.
Add additional patterns by going to your designer page and clicking on "manage store."
Agree to the "Terms of Use and Pricing." You have to do this to proceed even if you are offering a pattern for free (even though the terms of this agreement will not apply to free downloads).
Click "add pattern."
Upload and save your file.
Activate the product by clicking on the "Activate Product" button. You must activate it in order to allow other Ravelry users to have access to the pattern.
