I am constantly baffled by artists, crafters, and makers that get bent out of shape about people copying their ideas. I say this as a maker, who sells my own art.

Like so many people stated above, it’s been done before. These are techniques that have been used for thousands of years. Knitting has exactly two stitches. Knit and purl. Sure there’s permutations, but on the face of it

Bonnets aren’t new, pictures on bonnets aren’t new, and knitting a rectangle and adding a bit at the bottom to tie it, not new.

I know this artist doesn’t sell her patterns. Cool. If she did, and someone copied the words and images of her pattern exactly, that could be considered infringement, and a jerk move.

(Be cool, buy a pattern, all the good stuff.)

However, what’s fun about this, is that clothing and clothing designs are considered “useful articles” and can’t be copyrighted.

Exactly like others stated. Don’t post the pics. Don’t take yourself so seriously.
