previous post March 4, 2010 next post Pattern Layouts March 4th, 2010 I was recently looking through a knitting book, and the streamlined patterns, and elegant layout inspired me to take another look at my own self-published patterns. The old versions of my patterns used an 8 point font size, a serif font, and occasionally a color other than black, which no doubt makes them difficult to read. Everything seems pretty boxy—lots of sharp corners. The typography was also pretty bland—basically just pasted in from a Word document, without much thought to variation in headlines vs body text. I decided they needed a face lift, and in some cases a little more clarification for some parts of the pattern. I've taken a few of the best selling patterns to begin with, and I'm working on sowly upgrading the rest of them. Here's a peak at them. Please let me know what you think. old Fresco Shrug pattern new Fresco Shrug pattern old Mighty Mittens pattern new Mighty Mittens pattern old Violet Hat pattern new Violet pattern
