5. Finished Items Made From CozLoop Patterns

Unless a particular pattern specifically states otherwise, you may generally make finished physical products from a CozLoop pattern for personal use, gifts, or limited commercial purposes.

However, the pattern itself remains protected content.

You may not sell or distribute the original pattern, reproduce the instructions, or represent the design instructions as your own.

  • A link to CozLoop on social media.

When discussing or recommending a CozLoop project, please link readers to the original CozLoop page.

7. Images and Photography

Unless otherwise stated, photographs and graphics appearing on CozLoop are protected by copyright.

You may not download, reproduce, modify, sell, distribute, or use CozLoop photographs for commercial purposes without prior written permission.

If you wish to feature a CozLoop project on another website, please contact us before using our photographs.

Where permission is granted, we may require appropriate credit and a direct link to the original CozLoop article.

8. Tutorials and Educational Content

CozLoop may provide step-by-step crochet tutorials, stitch instructions, technique explanations, sizing information, and other educational materials.

These resources are provided for general educational purposes.

Crochet results can vary depending on:

  • Yarn weight
  • Yarn brand and fiber
  • Crochet hook size
  • Individual tension
  • Gauge
  • Stitch technique
  • Measurements
  • Experience level
  • Substituted materials

We cannot guarantee that your finished project will look exactly like the example shown on CozLoop.

Always check gauge and measurements when working on projects where size or fit is important.

9. Pattern Accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and understandable crochet instructions.

However, occasional typographical errors, stitch-count errors, measurement errors, or other mistakes may occur.

We may correct or update patterns and tutorials when errors are identified.

CozLoop does not guarantee that every pattern or tutorial will always be completely error-free.

If you believe you have found an error in one of our patterns, please contact us so we can review it.

10. Craft and Product Safety

Crochet projects may involve hooks, needles, scissors, sewing needles, buttons, beads, safety eyes, stuffing, adhesives, hot tools, and other materials.

You are responsible for using appropriate safety precautions.

Keep sharp tools and small craft components away from young children and pets when appropriate.

Extra care should be taken with projects intended for babies and children.

CozLoop does not guarantee that a handmade item is appropriate for a particular age, child, use, or safety requirement.

You are responsible for inspecting finished projects and determining whether they are safe for their intended purpose.

11. Third-Party Links

CozLoop may contain links to third-party websites, retailers, manufacturers, social media platforms, videos, services, or other resources.

These websites are not owned or controlled by CozLoop.

We are not responsible for the content, availability, policies, products, services, security, or practices of third-party websites.

Affiliate relationships help support the operation of the website and the creation of free crochet content.

We may recommend yarn, crochet hooks, craft supplies, books, tools, or other products that we believe may be useful to our readers.

Affiliate relationships do not guarantee that a particular product is appropriate for your specific project.

Affiliate disclosures should be clear and noticeable near applicable recommendations or links rather than relying solely on a general Terms of Use page. This is consistent with FTC guidance concerning clear and conspicuous affiliate disclosures.
