Crochet Patterns

Great question. Lyn’s Crafts has written permission from the Yarnspirations, via our distributor/wholesaler, that grants us permission, to allow our customers and guest the ability to download their patterns.

We are granted this permission because we, as an online retailer, sell their products and thus support their business.

Lyn’s Crafts can not grant you permission to distribute their patterns. Please work through your distributor/wholesaler.

Yes, you are free to give away of sell any items made from the patterns. 

Lyn’s Crochet Patterns are my own creations that I either sell or provide as a free download to encourage people to visit my site.
