Disclosure of AI Use (Artificial Intelligence)
Published on 5 February 2026 1 min readAs the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools emerge in the crafting and independent designer world, we believe that transparency is essential so makers can make informed decisions about the patterns they purchase.
AI Disclosure
Any pattern that incorporates AI-generated content must clearly disclose its use. This ensures makers understand whether the images they're viewing or the pattern they plan to make were created using AI tools.
An AI disclosure is required if AI has been used in any part of the pattern, including but not limited to:
- Pattern instructions or other written content
- Charts or diagrams
- Photography, illustrations, or graphic design elements
Please ensure the disclosure is the first sentence in the "Product Details" section for any pattern which uses AI.
DISCLOSURE: Certain images and designer elements and content contained herein have been generated, enhanced, or adapted using artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
Non-compliance may result in your pattern being disabled.
