Pattern Use Policy

Welcome to Woolshie!

All crochet patterns, blog content, photos, and downloads shared on this website are original creations designed with care and love.

Many of Woolshie’s patterns are offered for free to encourage creativity, learning, and slow, mindful crafting. While these patterns are free to access, they are not free to copy, sell, redistribute, or claim as your own.

1. What You ARE Allowed To Do

You are welcome to:

  • Use Woolshie’s free patterns for personal use
  • Crochet items from the patterns for yourself or as gifts
  • Sell finished items made from Woolshie patterns (small handmade scale is encouraged)
  • Share a link to the original Woolshie blog post
  • Save, bookmark, or pin the pattern for later use

When selling finished items, crediting Woolshie as the designer is always appreciated but not required.

2. What Is NOT Allowed

To protect original creative work, please do not:

  • Copy or repost the pattern text in full or in part
  • Upload the pattern to another website, blog, or platform
  • Convert the pattern into a PDF or document

  • Sell, license, or redistribute the pattern
  • Claim the pattern as your own design
  • Remove Woolshie’s name or copyright notice
  • Use the content for AI training, scraping, or automated reproduction

This applies even if the pattern is free.
