Copyright

Pattern Crochet respects the rights of creators and expects visitors to do the same. This page explains the general rules for using articles, crochet instructions, photographs, illustrations, graphics, branding, and other material published on the website.

Ownership and attribution

Copyright and other rights in website material may belong to Pattern Crochet, an identified author, photographer, designer, licensor, or another documented rights holder. A credit, copyright notice, license, or permission stated on an individual page controls over this general notice for that material. Third-party names, trademarks, and logos remain the property of their respective owners.

Permitted use

You may read, save a link to, and share a normal link to a public Pattern Crochet page. You may print or save a reasonable copy for personal reference when the page and applicable law permit it. Quotation, criticism, teaching, research, accessibility use, and other uses permitted by applicable law remain available to the extent the law provides.

Permission to make, display, give away, or sell a finished item from a crochet pattern depends on the notice or license attached to that individual pattern, if any. Do not assume that one site-wide rule replaces a pattern-specific permission.

Uses requiring permission

Unless an individual license or applicable law permits it, do not republish complete articles or patterns, reproduce photographs or diagrams, sell or distribute copies, remove attribution or rights notices, create a competing content collection from the website, or present Pattern Crochet material as your own. Automated copying, bulk extraction, and republication are not permitted merely because a page is publicly accessible.

Copyright concerns

If you believe material on Pattern Crochet infringes your copyright, follow the notice process in the DMCA Policy. For a general rights or permission question, email hello@patterncrochet.net with the relevant page URL and a clear description of the requested use.

Use of the website is also subject to the Terms & Conditions.
