What is a pattern or how to?

Have you got the teaching bug and love creating easy-to-follow steps for creating unique crafts? Then upload a pattern or how to. The craft can be your creation or a variation of someone else's. (Just give them credit, of course!) And the difference between a pattern and a how to? It just depends on which kind of craft you are uploading. Tutorials for crafts like knitting, crochet and sewing become patterns, while almost everything leftover is a how to.
