Jekyll: Include a file from directory outside of _includes
<p>I have an directory called <code>/patterns</code> in my Jekyll site, whose structure generally looks generally like this:</p>

<p><code>
_includes
_layouts
_site
/patterns
index.html
</code></p>

<p>I need to keep the <code>/patterns</code> directory outside <code>_includes</code> for a number of reasons, but mostly because I need to pull the files in <code>/patterns</code> into an iframe to display in a pattern library).</p>

<p>I'd like to include files from <code>/patterns</code> in my Jekyll pages, but using <code>{% include /patterns/file.html %} doesn't work as it points to the</code>_includes<code>folder. How would I go about including a file from a directory that isn't</code>_includes`?</p>
