| Best for | Understanding what a tech pack must control before using a template or releasing work | Inspecting body-measurement, garment-block, paper-prototype, test-pattern, cutting, and pattern-refinement instruction in an Indonesian vocational textbook | Broad pattern, yarn, and project research | Building a substitution shortlist for a discontinued or unavailable yarn before checking quantity, availability, and a representative swatch |
| Know before using | An orientation rather than a completed product record; it does not supply a universal format, licensed standard content, measurements, tolerances, construction settings, labels, approvals, compliance conclusion, or product-release authority. | This is a 2013 Indonesian-language vocational school textbook, not a current national competency standard, universal block or sizing system, professional qualification, ready-to-sew pattern, or proof of individual fit. Some equipment, terminology, pedagogy, body classification, formulas, measurement practices, and construction assumptions may be dated or unsuitable for another person, material, product, or production setting. Confirm current equipment instructions, target-body evidence, ease, material behavior, representative samples, accessibility, and fit evaluation before applying its methods. | An account is required and community, publisher, designer, shop, yarn, project, and connected-app records can vary in currency and accuracy. The checked public pages do not establish API credential eligibility, current endpoints, scopes, rate limits, support, app quality, or a complete account export. Search results, ratings, favorites, and project examples do not establish pattern accuracy, yarn availability, seller reliability, fit, gauge, or project suitability. Confirm current developer terms, files, errata, license, purchase and refund terms, measurements, yarn details, and shop information with the responsible source. | A suggested match is a data-based shortlist, not proof that the yarn suits the pattern or maker. Records can be incomplete or wrong, price bands are approximate, availability varies by country and seller, and shade-level matching is unavailable. YarnSub says affiliate status does not change suggestions, but equally rated matches are ordered by brand popularity. Confirm required gauge, total length, fibre behavior, construction, care, colour, dye lot, accessibility, price, availability, and seller terms, then make and assess a representative swatch before committing. |

| Free-account boundary | Not yet reviewed at this level. | Not yet reviewed at this level. | A free account requires a valid email signup link and enables the database, notebook, directories, groups, and forums. The public Goodies page sends developers to an account-gated API group; it does not establish current credential eligibility, scopes, endpoints, rate limits, or support. | The checked core substitution route does not require an account, and the FAQ does not offer user-entered yarn records. |
| Payment boundary | Not yet reviewed at this level. | Not yet reviewed at this level. | The core platform account is free. Individual patterns and other marketplace items may have separate provider-set prices; those purchases are not a user subscription. | No subscription is presented for the core route.

| Saved work and data | Not yet reviewed at this level. | Not yet reviewed at this level. | The Goodies page documents a stash spreadsheet and a Project Progress API JSON route, but it says exports are limited and does not establish one complete account export.

| Source and review | ||||
| What the source establishes | The guide cites published ISO sources for documented-information, garment-measurement, stitch, and seam boundaries plus current U.S. FTC textile and care-labeling guidance; it discloses that ISO 10013:2021's 2026 systematic review is at close-of-review stage and separates every cited authority from product-specific technical and market decisions. | Indonesia's Ministry of Education repository publishes Dasar Pola II as a 294-page vocational school book and learning module prepared by the government for the initial Curriculum 2013 implementation. The record names the Directorate for Vocational Secondary School Development and provides a direct PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 license. The textbook covers clothing foundations, materials and tools, body measurement, human dimensions, basic patterns, paper prototypes, cutting, and pattern refinement. It distinguishes commercial, drafted, draped, graded, test, production, and block patterns, and includes bodice and sleeve systems plus dart relocation, length and size changes, design-line development, and pattern testing. | Ravelry's official description identifies a user-driven database of knitting and crochet patterns and yarns, searchable directories, and a personal notebook. Community members and volunteer editors maintain database records. The current official Goodies page exposes an account-gated developer API route, a limited Project Progress API JSON export, and a stash spreadsheet; the official apps directory lists third-party apps that connect to Ravelry. | YarnSub's official FAQ says its matching software compares gauge, texture, yarn weight and density, fibre content, and fibre qualities such as drape and softness. Discontinued yarns remain searchable as starting points but are excluded from suggestions. Result filters can exclude animal, animal-derived, synthetic, or plant fibre groups and use a subjective $ to $$$$$ price indicator. The site does not accept user-entered yarn details, individual shade cards, or expose an API. Each yarn page provides a data-issue route. |
