However, in all these stages and more, my knitting pattern can fail and never actually make it to publication. Here are some of the ways it can fail:

  • Sketched but not designed
  • Designed but no yarn selected
  • Yarn selected by no gauge swatch
  • Gauge swatch but none I like
  • Final gauge swatch but no stitch count
  • Stitch counts but no cast on
  • Cast on but not completed
  • Completed but don’t like garment
  • Like garment but no pattern

How do you keep your knitting pattern designs from failing?
