Buying a pattern -- How it works

All patterns that are available on this weblog are available through Ravelry.com. Ravelry is an online knitting community and a market place for knitting and crochet patterns.

Buying a pattern

When you click the "Buy Now" button, you will be redirected to the Ravelry website, as shown below.

From here, you will automatically will be redirected to PayPal.

If you see a pattern you want to buy, but you also want to keep browsing other patterns, please use the "Add to Cart" button. When you click this, a pop-up from Ravelry will come up, showing the content of you shopping basket. At this moment, you can either chose to go to checkout or to continue shopping.

At any given time, you can click the "Show Cart" button, to see the content of your basket and go to check-out. When you click "Checkout Now", you will be redirected to Ravelry and subsequently to Paypal, as described above.

At this moment, PayPal is the only supported payment option.

How do discounts work?

We feature various types of discounts. There are automatic discounts for everyone, and coupon based discounts, which can be used by everyone who has the coupon code. 

Automatic discounts

And example of an automatic discount is the Bohemian Allure Winter Set. In this case, if you buy two or more items of the set, you will receive a 25% discount, as stated in the description.

I this case, the discount will be automatically calculated when you add the two items to your basket.

Coupon code discounts

Coupon codes can be used to receive an individual discount. These discounts can apply to all patterns, or specific ones, and are of temporary use, most of the time. Together with the coupon code, you will receive the information you need to use it (for example, time span in which the coupon can be used, or to which patterns the coupon applies).

To use a coupon code, add the pattern you want to purchase to your cart.

Then, click "use a coupon code". A box will show up, in which you can enter you coupon code. Click "apply", and the discount will be calculated.
