| Best for | Building an initial list of Bangladesh apparel factories | Understanding what a tech pack must control before using a template or releasing work | Free editorial knitting patterns and techniques |
| Know before using | Association membership is not a capacity, quality, labor-condition, certificate, availability, or ownership audit; factory-level due diligence remains necessary. | An orientation rather than a completed product record; it does not supply a universal format, licensed standard content, measurements, tolerances, construction settings, labels, approvals, compliance conclusion, or product-release authority. | 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 | BGMEA's public general-member list displayed 4,275 records with registration numbers, company names, contacts, and detail pages when checked. | The guide cites current ISO sources for documented-information, garment-measurement, stitch, and seam boundaries plus current U.S. FTC textile and care-labeling guidance; it explicitly separates those authorities from product-specific technical and market decisions. | 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. |
