If you’ve bought Tin Can Knits patterns on Ravelry, you can get them in Tin Can Knits app!
To take advantage of this feature you’ll need to link your Ravelry profile to the Tin Can Knits app. Here’s how to link them together – and the benefits.
Have you tried the free app yet? If not check out all the great details here.
Don’t use Ravelry? No problem. You still have access to patterns purchased through tincanknits.com as soon as they are app enabled, and you’ll be able to sync your PDF patterns purchased from tincanknits.com soon!
Why should I link up my Ravelry account?
If you’ve bought our patterns on Ravelry (now, or in the past) linking to Ravelry will allow you to check for patterns that are now in our app format. There’s no need to pay twice: if you’ve bought the pattern before you will have access to it in the app! You can also access Tin Can Knits PDFs you have stored in your Ravelry library.
App patterns are even better!
Why are app formatted patterns easier to use? You can select your size and yarn-weight… then see ONLY the numbers and instructions that apply to you. Tap through (one instruction at a time) to keep your place. You can add a counter or a note to any instruction. Our tutorials are also easy to access in the app!

If you link to your Ravelry account in the Tin Can Knits App, you can access your PDF format pattern purchases from INSIDE the app – so convenient!

Troubleshooting the Ravelry Link
There are a few reasons you may not see what you’re expecting!
I bought patterns, but they’re not showing up in my Ravelry.com library…WHY?
You haven’t added them to your Ravelry.com library
If you buy a pattern on Ravelry, while logged in, the pattern is automatically added to your user library as part of the purchase.
If you buy a pattern on Ravelry without being logged in as a Ravelry user, you will get a purchase confirmation email from Ravelry. This will allow you to add your purchase in to your Ravelry library.
When you buy a pattern on TinCanKnits.com, you must add it manually by tapping the ‘Add To Ravelry’ button in the Order Confirmation email that you get after each pattern or ebook purchase. See our in-depth how-to, or follow the steps outlined below.
You linked the wrong Ravelry.com user account
If you have more than one Ravelry user account, you may have linked the wrong account. Where possible, it’s best to keep a single account, because that keeps things simple. However, if you have a reason to work with multiple Ravelry user accounts, maybe you linked to an account which doesn’t own the Tin Can Knits pattern you’re looking for.
You can only be linked to a single Ravelry account at a time.
You’ll need to unlink from the Ravelry account, and re-link to your other account.
