It happened again — my Winterberry Bucket Hat knitting pattern was stolen, widely advertised, and sold on FB without my permission. It’s very frustrating and heart-breaking. Those people even paid for SIX (!) ads campaigns!
To share the full story and my experience with this situation, I've recorded a video for my YouTube Channel
In the video, I shared my experience with a stolen knitting pattern that was advertised on Facebook and sold on unauthorized websites. I explained why fake pattern sellers are a problem for knitters — stolen patterns are often altered, incomplete, missing key information, and sometimes sold for a higher price than the original. I also share tips on how to recognise fake knitting pages, scam ads, and how to make sure you are buying patterns from the real designer.

This video is for knitters who want to avoid scams and support original, independent designers.
