Terms of Use

Cozy Cheerful Crochet is written by its owner, Lyn Brown, and occasional contributors. My goal is to share patterns, tips and resources to help make your crochet projects more fun, creative and fulfilling. I aim to introduce you to a wide range of designers and techniques to inspire you to crochet your way.

The information below is all about respect … my respect for you and the designers spotlighted here, and your respect for us. If you have any questions, please contact me.

You may make items to sell in limited numbers (such as for craft fairs) from my original patterns provided you provide credit for the pattern and provide a link back to this blog.

I love when people share my original photos, unaltered, on social media (such as Pinterest and Facebook) so long as you cite the source by linking back directly to my blog post. No copy and paste of my content will be allowed under any circumstances.

In addition to my own original content, I reference patterns from other websites, and share with you my own customization of these patterns. I will clearly cite the source of patterns from other designers and abide by their terms of use. Please do the same.

Disclosure

I share information with you on products and services I use, such as the yarn and notions used with a pattern, the tools I keep in my crochet bag, and resources like videos that helped me. I have experience with these products and services, and any recommendations I make will be because they have been helpful and useful to me. These are products and services I believe in. All reviews are my own opinions and I write all of my own posts unless specifically clarified. All photos and content are my own unless clearly noted.

Please do not spend any money on products I recommend unless you feel you need or want them.

Affiliate programs, advertisements and product sales keep this site (and the owner) afloat, including —

Affiliate Links: If you use the provided affiliate links, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you decide to make a purchase. I only link to products and services I use.

Free Goods: I occasionally receive free yarn, books or notions in exchange for posting an honest review. I will always tell you when I have received something for free and I will tell you what I really think about it. All photos and content are mine unless noted otherwise.

Sponsored Advertisements and Content: I accept sponsored advertisements and sponsored content. These are for businesses, products or services I like to use. Any such content will be clearly identified.

Products for Sale: Patterns and other products are offered for sale. Most original patterns will be available for free in blog posts. Or for a few dollars, you may purchase an ad-free, consolidated version. Other products may also be offered for sale.

Thanks for your support!
