Patron Sign Up Help

If you would like to sign up as a Fruity Knitting Patron but are unsure how to do it, this page might help!

We have some help on upgrading your pledge. This page can also help you if you have increased your pledge but don’t have access to the rewards for that pledge amount.

Signing up to Patreon

  • You can sign up as a Fruity Knitting Patron using your e-mail address and a password. Alternatively, you can also sign up with your Facebook account.
  • You do not need to be on Facebook to become a Fruity Knitting Patron.

Steps to become a Fruity Knitting Patron

  1. Go to patreon.com/fruityknitting
  2. Select “Become a member” and then choose your level of support (Hebridean, Merino or Shetland patron).
  3. Sign up as a Patron using either e-mail or Facebook.
  4. Enter your payment method details.

These steps are described more fully below, with the option of signing up using e-mail. If you’d like to sign up using Facebook, see the section “Signing Up With Facebook” at the bottom of the page.

Depending on the amount you would like to pledge, you can select what level of Patron you would like to become – Hebridean ($5) , Merino ($10) or Shetland ($30). Select the level and press “CONTINUE“.

Select the level of Patron you would like to become, depending on the amount you would like to pledge.

To sign up using your e-mail address and a password, following these steps:

  3. Enter the password that you would like to use with your Fruity Knitting Patron account (Don’t forget it!) and select continue.
