title: Pattern.render()
---
The `Pattern.render()` method will render the pattern to SVG and return
that SVG as a string. It should only be called after calling
[Pattern.draft()](/reference/api/pattern/draft/) first.
## Pattern.render() signature
```js
string pattern.render()
```
## Pattern.render() example
```js
import { Aaron } from "@freesewing/aaron"
// Load some public test measurements from the FreeSewing backend
const measurements = (
await (
await fetch("https://backend3.freesewing.org/curated-sets/1.json")
).json()
).measurements
const pattern = new Aaron({ measurements })
const svg = pattern.draft().render()
```
