I want to make a pattern for a granny square jacket, and was looking at some fun granny squares on ribblr. However, I donāt know if I can post the pattern bc a lot of people are like DO NOT COPY PATTERN. But also, it could js be patterns that they posted but didnāt create - I saw five star pattern granny squares that looked exactly the same - so it would be ok to copy. Please give me ur thoughts on the subject

To be clear, youāre talking about using someone elseās existing granny squares and putting them into your pattern for a jacket?

If there are patterns on here that werenāt created by the shop owner, the pattern should be reported.
And welcome to the community. I always say, itās only easy if you know. So, good question.

Any pattern you offer here (or anywhere else for that matter) should be 100% entirely your own original work. Period
Not āinspired byā and no use of copyrighted or trademarked images or ideas (no Snoopy, no PokĆ©mon, no Harry Potter, no Hello Kitty, Mickey Mouse, no characters from books or movies that you donāt have official permission from the owner or a paid license from the owner to produce).

Yes. Granny square patterns that they posted on ribblr for everyone to use. I only know a basic granny square, so thatās why I was looking.

You can certainly make a jacket for yourself from granny squares designed by other designers. You can even sell that jacket to anyone if you want to
but if you want to offer a pattern for your jacket (free or paid doesnāt matter, copyright and trademark still applies) the squares should be your own original and unique design, not someone elseās design
Thereās quite a few very lovely granny square patterns here on Ribblr
