Thank you for your interest in ATELIER mati designs!
Whether you are using our free or paid patterns, we kindly ask you to follow these guidelines to support our creative work.
Pattern Etiquette & Copyright
To protect the heart and effort put into our designs, we kindly ask you to observe the following:
Do not redistribute: Please do not sell our patterns or make them available for download on your own blog or website.
Do not post charts or screenshots: To support our creative work, please refrain from posting screenshots or full charts of the patterns on social media or blogs.
No instructional videos: Sharing videos that explain the full content of the pattern on video platforms is not permitted.
A Small Request for Your Photos: We love seeing your beautiful projects on social media! When posting photos of your work-in-progress, please ensure the pattern or charts are not visible in the shot.
Why this matters: Creating these patterns takes a significant amount of time and effort. I want as many people as possible to enjoy crochetting & knitting them, but it is my wish that the patterns themselves are accessed only through my official pages.
Instead of sharing screenshots, please feel free to share a link to the pattern page!
Selling Finished Items
If you wish to sell items made from ATELIER mati patterns, please follow these guidelines:
For Small Businesses & Sellers: If you are selling your work as a handmade creator or crochet artist, please credit “ATELIER mati” as the designer in your product descriptions or on the item tags. This helps avoid confusion for your customers.
For Personal Use & Charity: You do not need to provide a credit if you are selling items at local school fundraisers (bazaars) or giving them to friends and family for a small fee to cover materials.
Modifications
Enjoy Your Own Creative Twist!
We encourage you to get creative and make the design your own.
I believe that crochetting & knitting is all about personal expression. Please feel free to:
- Change the size (make it larger, smaller, longer, etc.).
- Change the item type (turn a bag into a drawstring pouch, etc.).
- Use the stitch patterns to create entirely different items.
Using Patterns in Classes & Workshops
For Classes & Knit Cafes: You are welcome to use our patterns in your workshops! We kindly ask that you clearly credit “ATELIER mati” as the designer. For the best experience, please have your students access or download the original patterns directly from our official website or shop.
For Yarn Shops & Displays: If you display a finished sample in your shop to promote yarn sales, please include a small tag saying “Pattern by ATELIER mati”. You may provide printed copies to customers who purchase yarn, as long as our shop name and logo remain clearly visible on the printout.
Online Video Lessons (Important): Our patterns cannot be used for public online video lessons, YouTube tutorials, or any digital streaming platforms where the content is accessible to an unspecified number of people.
