Pattern Submission Checklist:

- Color images of finished project
(This can be the knitted or crocheted item photographed alone or on a model and/or a detail of the fabric or stitches)
Images can be submitted in the following formats:- High-quality, high-resolution, digital images via email or CD
Digital images need to be no less than 300 dpi, at least 5″ x 7″ finished size and normal pixelation (i.e. web quality image of 72 dpi cannot be accepted). Images can be in jpg or tif format in appropriate resolution. If you are using your digital camera, go into the settings and choose the highest option they provide and you should be okay. If you are not familiar with image requirements for printing, please read this page! - High-quality slide(s), transparencies or photograph(s)
Please note: laser printouts of images will not yield a high enough quality image for publication. Original photography will be returned upon request. NOTE: In order to uphold the quality of the calendars, the quality of the image(s) provided is an important consideration for inclusion. - Send a finished project to be photographed
If you do not feel confident that you can send an image that is appropriate quality, you can send finished projects to be professionally photographed by Accord Publishing. Please include a self-addressed return envelope with postage to ensure prompt return of materials.
