Disclosure Policy for YarnChitect

Effective Date: June 5, 2025

YarnChitect is a curated crochet blog and platform dedicated to sharing high-quality, trusted pattern roundups and designer features. This site may include affiliate links, sponsored content, and featured patterns. Below is a full disclosure of how content is shared and monetized.

Affiliate Links

Some links on YarnChitect may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you — if you purchase through one of these links. This includes, but is not limited to, links to:

  • Etsy
  • LoveCrafts
  • Amazon
  • Other trusted crafting or crochet-related platforms

These affiliate commissions help support the site, cover hosting and tools, and allow us to continue offering free resources and pattern directories.

We only recommend products and services that we believe are valuable, relevant to the audience, and aligned with the mission of YarnChitect.

Sponsored Content and Designer Features

Occasionally, we may feature a pattern, designer, or product in exchange for compensation or a sponsored partnership. If a blog post or roundup includes a paid feature, it will be clearly labeled as sponsored.

We do not accept payment in exchange for misleading information or fake reviews. All opinions expressed are honest and based on the editor’s judgment and personal values.

Pattern Roundups and Designer Directory

YarnChitect was built with both makers and designers in mind. Our mission is to help crocheters and knitters find trusted, verified patterns without the frustration of clickbait, broken links, or stolen content — while also giving real designers the credit, visibility, and support they deserve. We are deeply committed to ethical curation that benefits both sides of the yarn-loving community.

Image Usage:

  • We do not claim ownership of any designer photos or pattern images featured in roundups, directories, or blog posts.
  • All images used in roundups or on the Designer Directory are either submitted directly by the designer or used only with clear permission from the original creator.
  • We will never intentionally share or reuse an image from a designer without their consent.

Each image featured:

  • Is accompanied by proper credit
  • Links directly to the designer’s original pattern post or shop
  • Retains its watermark, where applicable

If you are a designer and see your content featured without permission, please contact us immediately so we can correct or remove it.

Email Marketing & Promotions

We use email to share:

  • New pattern roundups
  • Featured designer highlights
  • Digital crochet tools and resources
  • Exclusive content and product launches

Some emails may contain affiliate links or links to sponsored content. You can unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time.
