Is there copyright in a knitting technique?
No. A way of doing something is not protected by copyright. If it can be protected at all, it would have to be patented or treated as confidential information (a trade secret). If it is patented, then the patentee has the exclusive right to use the technique for a limited period of time, and may license others to use the technique. If it is a trade secret, only the recipients of the information are  bound to keep it secret; a third person who develops the technique herself is free to use it.

On the other hand, if a person has written down the instructions for executing this technique (such as in a handout or book), these written instructions may be protected by copyright. However, copyright in the written instructions cannot be used to stop someone else from using the technique, or teaching that technique, provided copyright in those written instructions is not infringed.

Can I make a working copy of the pattern I’m currently using, if I own a legal copy of the original?
You are allowed to engage in “fair dealing” with a copyrighted work. If you are using your working copy simply for your own personal reference, so you can mark it up and avoid damaging the original, then this is probably a fair dealing. This working copy should probably be discarded after use.

What if I borrowed the pattern from a friend or a library? Can I still make a working copy?
If you are making your working copy for the same purpose as in this question, then this is probably a fair dealing as well. This is not the same as if your my friend lent you the pattern so that you could make a “working copy” and return it right away, then lent the pattern out to another friend, who did the same thing, and then lent it to a third friend, and so on… in that case, the end result is several copies among this circle of friends. Those aren’t really “working copies” anymore,
are they? (taken from http://girlfromauntie.com/copyright)

Knit Your First Sweater

In this class you will be knitting a pullover, long sleeve sweater from the neck down using circular needles. It is an uncomplicated, versatile design that you will be able to personalize as you choose.

Pattern: You have four choices, each requiring different amounts of knitting. If you have limited time to knit between classes you should consider knitting the Child’s, the Bulky or the Superbulky sweater.
All the patterns are by Knitting Pure & Simple
Child’s # 9730
Women’s Worsted #9724 (requires the most knitting)
Women’s Bulky # 992
Women’s Superbulky # 224

Skills & techniques covered in class: Two ways to cast on, knitting with live stitches, pick up & knit, increases and decreases. We’ll also cover how to customize your sleeve and body lengths, as well as edging possibilities.

Homework: You need to have your stitch gauge & needle size determined for the yarn you have chosen before you come to class. If you have questions around this you can refer to any of several books. One resource that explains gauge in detail is Sally Melville’s The Knit Stitch, on pages 135-138. Also The Knitters Companion. Lastly, make a copy of your pattern to scribble all over and save the original for future projects.
