Offer "Open in Pattern Reader" to your customers
Nothing to install, nothing to host: a link that carries your whole pattern, ready to paste into your shop, your bio or a PDF.
What your customer sees
She opens your link and lands straight in the reader with your pattern loaded: one instruction at a time, in large print, with a row counter, a timer and abbreviations explained on hover. Nothing for her to set up: no account, no download.
How to create the link
Paste your pattern text into the reader, the same way you would to read it yourself, then click "Copy link". The resulting link carries the whole pattern: nobody else needs to host it.
The badge to copy
A badge to place next to your patterns, on your shop or in a PDF. Replace the ellipsis with the link you copied in the previous step.

The link shown is an example: replace "…" with your own.
A pinnable image
A vertical image ready for Pinterest or a social network, to pair with your own link.
The limit, honestly stated
A very long pattern does not fit in a link: beyond 8,000 characters, Pattern Reader refuses to create the link rather than hand over a truncated one. For a pattern that size, it is better to link to the full text and let your customer paste it into the reader herself.
