Copyright & Intellectual Property Policy

Last Updated: July 26, 2025

At SimplyCrochetCharts, we are committed to respecting intellectual property rights. This policy outlines our approach to the visual charts used on our platform.

OUR APPROACH TO CROCHET CHARTS

We utilize crochet charts as a visual tool to make complex patterns more accessible and easier to follow for crocheters of all skill levels. Our charts are designed to simplify the crocheting process and enhance the user’s learning experience.

Adaptation, Not Original Authorship: We do not claim original authorship of the underlying crochet stitch patterns or the fundamental visual language of crochet charting itself. These are often traditional or widely recognized techniques within the crochet community.

Focus on Clarity and Accessibility: Our work involves adapting and interpreting existing crochet patterns or concepts into clear, standardized, and user-friendly chart formats. We meticulously design these charts with enhanced visual clarity, consistency, and instructional precision to optimize the learning and execution process.

Originality in Presentation: While the basic stitches and some pattern structures may be traditional, the specific visual presentation, layout, formatting, and instructional enhancements within our charts are our original creative work.

USING OUR CHARTS

Our adapted charts are protected under copyright law as derivative works. This means:

Personal Use: Users are permitted to use our charts for personal, non-commercial purposes to create crochet projects.

No Redistribution: Redistribution, reproduction, public display, or commercial use of our charts, in whole or in part, without explicit written permission from SimplyCrochetCharts is strictly prohibited.

REPORTING COPYRIGHT CONCERNS

If you believe that any chart or content on our website infringes upon your copyright, please contact us immediately at crochet@prostorllc.com with detailed information.
