| Know before using | 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. | Partner status is not a blanket product claim; use the current official list and confirm the exact facility, material, process, or chemical-input scope. |
