Advertising, Affiliate and Content Disclosure

Last updated: August 2026

We believe you should know exactly how CrochetEco is funded and how our content is produced. This page explains both, in plain language.

1. Advertising

CrochetEco displays advertising to cover hosting costs and keep every pattern on this site free to read.

  • Ads are served by third-party networks, including Google AdSense.
  • Advertisers do not review, approve, or influence our tutorials, patterns, or recommendations.
  • We do not accept payment in exchange for a positive review or for placing a product inside a tutorial.
  • Advertising cookies are placed only after you consent through our cookie banner. See our Cookie Policy.

2. Affiliate Links

Some articles contain affiliate links, mainly to yarn, hooks, and craft supplies.

  • If you buy through one of these links, we may earn a small commission.
  • The price you pay is exactly the same. Affiliate commissions cost you nothing.
  • We only link to tools and materials relevant to crochet that we would recommend regardless of commission.
  • Where an article contains affiliate links, a short disclosure appears near the top of that article.

If you would rather not use our links, you can always search for the product directly. We will still be glad you found the tutorial useful.

3. Our Etsy Shop

We operate a shop on Etsy under the name LearnCrochetBeginner. Links to that shop are commercial links to our own products. Purchases there directly support this website.

4. Images and Illustrations

We want to be straightforward about this, because it matters to crafters.

  • Some images on this site are photographs of finished projects.
  • Some images are digital illustrations, including AI-assisted illustrations, used to show a concept, colour scheme, or general style.
  • Illustrations are used for visual context only. They are not presented as proof that a specific item was made from the pattern shown.
  • Where a photograph shows an actual finished project, the article says so.

Crochet stitches shown in an illustration may not be reproducible exactly. Always follow the written pattern instructions, not the picture.

5. Pattern and Tutorial Disclaimer

  • Our patterns and tutorials are provided free for personal, non-commercial use.
  • Gauge, yarn weight, hook size, and individual tension all affect your finished result. Your measurements may differ from ours.
  • We are not responsible for materials cost, project outcome, or injury resulting from the use of tools described on this site.
  • Crochet hooks, scissors, and yarn needles are sharp. Supervise children accordingly.

6. Third-Party Content

Where we mention a designer, brand, blog, or product created by someone else, we credit them and link to the original source. We do not republish other designers’ written pattern instructions. If you believe content on this site infringes your rights, contact us and we will act promptly.

7. Editorial Independence

CrochetEco is an independent crochet education site. Our recommendations are based on what we believe genuinely helps beginners learn. Advertising and affiliate revenue keep the site running; they do not decide what we publish.
