like, if you really like a certain pattern but it's really big, is it ok to make a version with fewer strings and submit that?
I really love how pattern #115790 looks, but 64 strings is just too many...so i was thinking i could recreate it to look similar with only 32 (still a lot, but manageable lol)
i think i might try to find a way change a few things so it could still have 8 colors, so it would be a bit different. but if i can't figure that out, would it still be ok?

i mean, i see people asking others to do this on the requests forum, but i figured i'd ask just in case.

This is more commonly accepted for alpha patterns since many normals already have versions that have fewer strings, so I would recommend looking for a similar pattern that is already smaller. Since you said you would have to modify it anyway, if you can’t find one, I would recommend recreating it in the pattern maker and slimming it down there. This should allow you to post the new, smaller pattern, as well as post the picture.

I recommend first asking the creator of the original pattern if they could make a smaller version since it is their design. It is nice to give the creator the option to make a smaller version first.

they could have also made a smaller version that you didnt find, so i would just always ask to be on the safe side.
