License terms

Every Pattern Yarn pattern includes a full commercial license. Here is what that means, in plain language.

What you may do

  • Make the item for yourself or as a gift.
  • Sell finished items made from the pattern — at markets, in your own shop, online, at any scale.
  • Credit is appreciated (“pattern by Pattern Yarn”) but not required.

What you may not do

  • Share, resell, redistribute or publish the PDF itself, in whole or in part.
  • Translate or rewrite the pattern for distribution.
  • Use our photography to sell your finished items without permission.

The short version

The things you make are yours. The pattern file stays ours. If you are unsure whether your use is covered, write to us — we answer quickly.
