Animal Crossing Pattern Tool

The ACNL pattern tool is completely written in HTML5 and JavaScript. As such, it requires a decently standards-compliant browser. The latest versions of Chrome / Chromium / Firefox / Android / iOS are tested and should work. No promises on anything else. Internet Explorer will probably choke on this entire page, while Edge and Safari will probably run into issues with certain features.

Click a color on the 3x5 palette and then just "draw" on one of the pattern representations. All of the zoom levels are drawable and they will all update at the same time. When you want to import to ACNL, simply scan the QR code at the bottom using the QR machine at the Able Sisters in-game. Don't have the QR machine yet? Talk to the quiet sister in the back for 10 days in a row to unlock it. The download ACNL file button lets you save the pattern to your computer for later use. You can also upload ACNL files or images containing QR codes. Not all images will always scan correctly since QR code reading is somewhat of an iffy thing, but we're always working on improving accuracy.
