How to View our PDF Patterns

When it comes to printing, we’ve had to employ some watermarking because of pirate websites who like to steal our patterns. Because of Chinese websites hosted by Alibaba and supported by Cloudflare in the U.S. in particular, who share our copyright material, we have had to protect it.

The PDF files which you download are available on your device. They should be in your ‘Download’ folder and can be opened from there with your PDF reading software. Our PDF patterns can be downloaded, saved, viewed, annotated and printed.

Are you experiencing problems viewing our PDF patterns? Make sure you have the latest version downloaded. You can do this by visiting your Account and downloading the version available. It’s worth checking back occasionally as we update our patterns based on feedback to be sure they are as easy to understand as possible.

Google’s Chrome, Microsoft’s Edge and Apple’s Safari browsers are not known to have any problems viewing, downloading, opening and printing the PDFs.

Payment methods

We use the following partners to provide secure off-site payment options from trusted global business’. We do not collect or store any payment information other than method. We use this to protect you should a dispute arise. These payment providers are independent of Cottontail & Whiskers for your security and peace of mind

Items made from our patterns

Items made using any part of Cottontail & Whiskers patterns are subject to our copyright. Items produced using our intellectual property either whole or in part, may be freely gifted. They may only be sold with prior written permission of the copyright owner. If you have any questions or to request permission, contact us first. You can do this at the bottom of the page. Please don’t hesitate in contacting us. We’ve never refused anybody yet and only ask as some crafters sell our designs as their own.

Sharing your Work

We love nothing more than seeing our patterns made real by your fair hands. Have you seen our Crafters Reviews? What makes it even better is when those fair hands acknowledge our part in their creativity. Apart from a warm appreciative glow, we are given the opportunity to welcome fresh crocheters to the site and maybe even a few new pennies towards the future.

Thank you

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for purchasing a Cottontail & Whiskers crochet pattern. Many hours of work are involved in its imagining, design, test, presentation, publication and release . Your support is the reason we can continue to create designs which we hope give many hours of enjoyment. We value you greatly and apologise for any problems caused by encryption and watermarking on our PDFs.

We know that our patterns are illegally distributed online and in private. We take our intellectual property very seriously, but it is impossible to monitor or stop all these acts of petty theft. If you have not purchased our pattern directly through Cottontail & Whiskers, you are in part destroying our passion, belief in people and ability to continue producing designs you obviously enjoy.

The next time you feel like offering a ‘bounty’, paying ‘gold coins’, clicking ‘likes’ or giving a social ‘thank you’ to the person who enabled you to steal our hard work for what you might think is free, consider how little we ask and what it took to produce.

Be one of the Good Guys and support us. Buy your own copy with our thanks, appreciation and full support. Fate willing, we’ll be here to assist your creativity.
