When posting photos of your work-in-progress, <strong>please ensure the pattern or charts are not visible in the shot.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why this matters:<\/strong> Creating these patterns takes a significant amount of time and effort. I want as many people as possible to enjoy crochetting &amp; knitting them, but it is my wish that the patterns themselves are accessed only through my official pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of sharing screenshots, please feel free to share a link to the pattern page!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selling Finished Items<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you wish to sell items made from ATELIER mati patterns, please follow these guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For Small Businesses &amp; Sellers:<\/strong> If you are selling your work as a handmade creator or crochet artist, <strong>please credit &#8220;ATELIER mati&#8221; as the designer<\/strong> in your product descriptions or on the item tags. This helps avoid confusion for your customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For Personal Use &amp; Charity:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enjoy Your Own Creative Twist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We encourage you to get creative and make the design your own.<\/strong><br> I believe that crochetting &amp; knitting is all about personal expression. Please feel free to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Change the size<\/strong> (make it larger, smaller, longer, etc.).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Change the item type<\/strong> (turn a bag into a drawstring pouch, etc.).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use the stitch patterns<\/strong> to create entirely different items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Patterns in Classes &amp; Workshops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For Classes &amp; Knit Cafes:<\/strong> You are welcome to use our patterns in your workshops! We kindly ask that you <strong>clearly credit &#8220;ATELIER mati&#8221;<\/strong> as the designer. For the best experience, please have your students access or download the original patterns directly from our official website or shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For Yarn Shops &amp; Displays:<\/strong> If you display a finished sample in your shop to promote yarn sales, please include a small tag saying <strong>&#8220;Pattern by ATELIER mati&#8221;<\/strong>.
