Crochet Board is designed around historical crochet works that are believed to be in the public domain or otherwise lawful to reproduce.
Source-First Approach
Whenever possible, each archived pattern should identify its original book, leaflet, magazine, publisher, publication year and page or item number.
What Public Domain Means Here
Public-domain status can vary by country and by the facts surrounding a work. A modern scan, photograph, transcription, editorial note or website layout may have separate rights even when the underlying historical pattern is public domain.
Our Rule
We do not intentionally copy modern editorial text, modern photographs or proprietary website design merely because an underlying vintage pattern is public domain.
Rights Concerns
If you believe material on Crochet Board infringes rights you control, contact us with the page URL, identification of the work and your basis for the claim. We will review credible notices promptly.
