Tot Toppers Cottage Licensing
Knitters take note! I am now offering cottage licenses for my original designs. A cottage license gives you the right to use Tot Toppers patterns for profit. There are so many different ways to work cottage licensing. To keep it simple, I came up with two options. Both options are lifetime in nature. Once you are licensed for a particular pattern, you will not have to renew it. As someone who has worked selling handknits, I know how hard it is to be profitable!
1) Limited License for $30 that covers 4 patterns of your choice; additional patterns can be added for $8 each at any time. 4 is the minimum to start.
2) Unlimited License for $200 that not only covers my 30+ currently published patterns, but also includes patterns I publish in the future. FYI, I’m 26 years old and just getting started :)
Please note that these licenses DO NOT include pattern purchase and you are not given license to produce any design for which you have not shown record of purchase. For patterns that are available free of charge (this currently includes Tiger Stamped and the Cheery Scrap Cap), you DO need a license to sell these knits but the pattern is of course still free of charge.
If this is of interest you, please feel free to shoot me an e-mail and we’ll talk and get the paperwork started.
FYI-I think my best seller was probably ROAR! But the Ruffled Stripe Hat was close, followed by Checkered Square Cap and Trail Cap.
 
 
  
Yay! I love when designers give this option – not that I currently do any of that, but it's nice to know it's available.
this is such a great idea – having had a REALLY bad conversation in the "Copyright Matters" forum on Ravelry (where people think they can just use your patterns ANYWAY) seeing this makes me really happy – it's a good move. i really hope people respect it – i have had to chase down a few folks knitting my designs for profit, without my written permission!
Oh, I must learn to knit!
