Abstract

In this essay, I tell a story of my journey on the way to pattern writing, especially exploring the format of a sheet for pattern writing. This essay aims to show why the sheet takes its current format by sharing my thinking process and the trial and error of the design process. The Pattern Writing Sheet provides not only the space to write the contents of a pattern but also instructions on how to go about thinking about them. This sheet is available online under the Creative Commons license, and I have used it for several workshops, where businesspeople wrote their own practical knowledge into patterns in a 3-hour workshop.
