Pattern license

The short version: the pattern is for you, the things you make with it are yours.

Last updated: September 2026

When you buy a pattern from Crochetpatterns.us, you receive a personal, non-transferable license to use the pattern files. The pattern itself, including its text, charts, photos and illustrations, remains the copyrighted work of Crochetpatterns.us.

You may

  • Download the PDF files and keep copies on your own devices.
  • Print the pattern for your own use.
  • Make as many items from the pattern as you like, for yourself or as gifts.
  • Sell finished items that you make from the pattern. A credit such as “Pattern by Crochetpatterns.us” in your listing is appreciated.
  • Share photos of the items you make, for example on social media.

You may not

  • Share, forward, upload or otherwise distribute the PDF files, or any part of them, whether for free or for payment.
  • Resell the pattern or include it in bundles, kits or courses.
  • Copy, translate or republish the written instructions, charts, photos or illustrations.
  • Claim the design as your own.

Teaching and group projects

If you would like to use a pattern for a class, a crochet-along or another shared setting, please get in touch first. Each participant needs their own copy of the pattern.
