| Best for | Checking the scope, entry requirement, district availability, and application path for Sri Lanka's public enterprise-based Tailor training before contacting NAITA | Learning or identifying crochet stitches | Free editorial knitting patterns and techniques |
| Know before using | This is a government course listing, not a free tutorial, confirmed intake, guaranteed seat, independent course review, or assessment of trainers, facilities, accessibility, safety, certification, placement, or outcomes. The rendered page currently shows no duration and displays a zero course fee even though the public API marks the course non-free, reports the fee as unspecified, and stores different NVQ 3 and NVQ 4 durations. Do not rely on the displayed zero. Confirm the current level, duration, full cost, district and institution, intake, application status, entry documents, language, timetable, facilities, accessibility, safety, assessment, certificate, and placement directly with NAITA. | A foundational library, not yet an exhaustive stitch encyclopedia. | Free access does not grant commercial reproduction or sale rights; uses beyond one personal copy must be resolved with the designer or author. Knitty says it tries to avoid errors but disclaims responsibility for pattern and technique inaccuracies. Check the live page for corrections, verify gauge and measurements, and confirm permission before any commercial use. |

| What the source establishes | Sri Lanka's National Apprentice and Industrial Training Authority identifies itself as a government vocational-training body established under the Tertiary and Vocational Education Act No. 20 of 1990. Its public Tailor course page lists sewing, cutting, garment design, measurement, fabric selection, patternmaking, stitching, completion of Grade 10, all-district availability, and an application action. The connected public API identifies course code D18S004.3, marks the record active and enterprise-based, stores NVQ 3 and NVQ 4 duration fields, marks the course non-free, reports the course fee as unspecified, and publishes a LKR 1,000 registration fee. | The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface. | Knitty currently publishes web-only editorial issues containing original knitting and crochet patterns and articles. Its legal page states that patterns are free for one person's personal use, identifies each designer or author as the copyright holder, and explains that verified pattern corrections are posted in bright pink on the pattern page. |
