The 5 categories were made back when I started the site, and because there are so many patterns now it would be difficult to retroactively place all patterns into new categories, so I'm not sure how much use it would be :/ We have tags for patterns, which can be useful for finding patterns with specific themes. All patterns are also assigned a pattern type. We have a pattern type for "cuffs" (bracelets) and a pattern type for "ties," but the ties are specifically flat peyote ones, not perler ones.

The easiest way to find perler bows would be to search for "bow" and then change the drop down so you're only searching for perler patterns.

I'm not saying I won't ever add new categories, it might happen, but it's not my main priority at the moment.

A feature I previously had on a test version of the site, was the ability to make "lists" of patterns, a bit like on Pinterest where you have boards. If there was a board for 'Perler accessories," I suppose that would serve a similar purpose too.

I was thinking the other day how cool it is that random patterns pop up at the bottom of the page but what if that even had it's own clickable button?

I think it's a great idea. I really wish that there were more categories for patterns. 5 just doesn't seem like enough.
