Hey guys!
Under a bunch of crochet patterns on Ribblr it often says that you can sell the finished product but give credit. If I was at a market, how would I give credit? Would I put up a sign that says where I got all my patterns from, or just not claim the patterns as mine and if someone asks il tell them the original creator??? Any help is appreciated!

I think some ppl make individual tags with credit, but other patterns exclude markets rom their “needs credit” list

When at markets I typically don’t see people crediting the creators of the patterns but I feel like you should? Like even if you just had a list of the patterns and creators somewhere in your booth or at your table.

I think it depends on whether or not you’re planning on labeling them. When I do markets, I generally include the pattern designer on the label, and then if someone asks I’d just tell them to look there. A sign would be a great idea too, but if these options are too much work, I’d just tell people if they ask.

oh, thanks for the tag!!
most people don’t care if you credit them during a market, as it’s hectic (i stole this wording from @shrimpybrimpy’s pattern bios, lol). imo, i think just don’t claim the patterns as yours, and if someone asks, tell them who the pattern is by/from.

Soo I’ve thought about when your pricing your items, I would add the creators tag on the price tag as well so it’s like they can search that creator if they wanted to, also have your links somewhere in your booth

While it is considered polite to credit the designer, I don’t think it is “legally required” as some designers try and make you think it is
Plus most people buying craft items don’t care who the pattern designer is, they don’t knit or crochet themselves They just like the item itself

I feel like that mostly applies when selling the items online! For example, tagging the creator in the listing

If you’re selling at a market, I wouldn’t worry about it, but if someone asks where the pattern is from you can tell them. I think it applies much more if you’re selling online, like on an Etsy shop, I would just put a little note in the product description.

I haven’t done a market yet but im planning one, what im going to do is have tags on my things with the price and the designers handle on

I was also gonna say this, cause the customer just buys what they like, it’s still hand made whether the original creator made it or you

Copyright only protects the written pattern and the designers pictures, the finished product belongs to its maker. They can sell it, use it or set it on fire. (Although your local fire department would probably cite you for that last one LOL)
The designer has no control over the finished piece and what becomes of it At least in the United States. Other countries laws may differ.
