Knitty® and the Knitty wordmark
A very important word about copyright: Every pattern on the Knitty website is the property of the designer who created it and cannot be reproduced, except for one copy for an individual's personal use. If you print patterns from Knitty and sell them without the designer's permission, you are stealing.
Here is the text from our FAQ page that explains just what "free" means, in terms of Knitty's patterns: Q. Knitty's patterns are free? Really? If you should see evidence of a violation of copyright, please let the designer know. Their e-mail address can be found at the bottom of their pattern. We appreciate your assistance. In order to feature any photograph or portion of a pattern or article from Knitty on your website or any other such use, you must obtain written permission from the designer or author, the copyright holder. Contact information can be found at the bottom of the page on which the material appears. Please respect the designers and authors whose work you see in this magazine. Violations of copyright are illegal and each designer has the authority to pursue violators to the full extent of the law.
