Pattern Use & Selling

Last updated: November 12, 2026

We want you to enjoy our patterns — and to make, gift and even sell the things you crochet from them. Here is what is and isn’t okay.

You are welcome to

• Make as many items from our free patterns as you like, for yourself and as gifts.
• Sell the finished items you made yourself (at markets, in your shop or online). A credit such as “Pattern by Crochet Mom” with a link is appreciated.
• Share a link to the pattern, pin it to Pinterest and post photos of your finished piece.
• Use the patterns in a class or a charity group, as long as each person reads the pattern from our site.

Please don’t

• Copy, republish, translate or sell the pattern itself (text, charts or photos), in print or online.
• Share PDFs, screenshots or printed copies of the pattern publicly or in groups.
• Use our photos to sell your items — please photograph your own work.
• Mass-produce items from our patterns in a factory setting.
