When does a pattern stop being someone else's and become yours? How much modification?
I started a pattern from Afya Ibomu's book. But the hat was done entirely in single crochet which bored me, so I chose to do a stitch pattern. Initially, I used the increases and row counts she did, but then I suddenly realized that she uses elastic and I didn't want to and so I had to figure out where I was going to do decreases; and since my stitch pattern uses hdc, I also realized that if I went to the full 27 rounds, the hat would be WAY too big. :) So I've done the math to change the row count as well. Have I mentioned that I suck at math?
At this point, I'd agree that the hat was inspired by the book, but I'd pretty much say that I developed a pattern for it.
What do you think?
It's not like I have plans to go out and sell the pattern or anything. I'm just curious.
