Terms of use

Last updated: 2026-11-13

These terms apply when you use KnitGrid, that is, the website knitgrid.app and the KnitGrid app (“the service”). The service is provided by Swedish Treats AB, Swedish company reg. no. 559506-5359 (“we”, “us”). By using the service, you accept these terms.

1. About the service

KnitGrid is a tool for designing colourwork knitting patterns. You draw on a grid, see how the pattern will look knitted and can save, download and share your patterns. The service also contains ready-made templates and guides about knitting.

2. Free to use

The service is free. If we offer paid features in the future, you will receive clear information about the price and terms before you choose to pay. Features that you already use for free will not become chargeable without us informing you in advance.

3. Account

You can use KnitGrid without an account. Your patterns are then stored only in your browser or on your phone, and they may be lost if you clear your browser data or uninstall the app.

If you create an account:

• you must provide an e-mail address that you yourself have access to,
• you are responsible for keeping your password secret and for anything done with your account,
• you must be at least 13 years old.

You can stop using the service whenever you like. If you want us to delete your account, e-mail support@knitgrid.app.

4. Your content

Patterns that you create are yours. You retain the copyright and other rights to your content.

Patterns in your account are private until you choose to share them with the community. When you share a pattern, you grant Swedish Treats AB a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide right to store, display and distribute the pattern – with its name, description and your display name – in the service and in previews when someone links to it. You also grant other users the right to start from the pattern, make their own copy and knit from it for their personal use.

This right ends when you stop sharing the pattern or delete it. However, copies that other users have already saved may remain.

5. Content rules

You may only share content that you have the right to share. Among other things, this means that you must not:

• copy other people’s protected patterns or designs, for example patterns from knitting books, pattern leaflets or paid patterns, without permission from the designer,
• use trademarks, logos or protected characters in a way that infringes anyone else’s rights,
• share content that is illegal, offensive, hateful or sexually explicit,
• write personal data about others in a pattern’s name or description,
• attempt to disrupt, overload or circumvent security measures in the service, or use it for spam.

You are of course free to use traditional motifs such as Selbu roses, reindeer and stars. It is the specific design in someone else’s published pattern that may be protected.

6. Reporting and removal

If you believe that a shared pattern infringes your copyright or otherwise breaches these terms, e-mail support@knitgrid.app. State which pattern it concerns (link) and why. We will review the report and remove content that breaches these terms or the law.

We may remove content and suspend accounts that breach these terms. Where possible, we will notify you and explain why.

7. Templates and guides

The templates, the guides and the rest of the service belong to Swedish Treats AB. You may use the templates freely for knitting and for creating your own patterns in KnitGrid. You may not sell or publish the templates or the guides as they are, as if they were your own, without our permission.

8. Availability and changes to the service

We want KnitGrid to work well, but we cannot promise that the service will always be available or free from errors. We may change, add or remove features. If we shut down the service or the feature for saving patterns to your account, we will give notice in good time so that you can download your patterns.

Always check a pattern, for example the number of stitches and the gauge, before you knit a larger garment.

9. Liability

The service is free and is provided as is. To the extent permitted by Swedish law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for example lost time, yarn costs or patterns that have disappeared from your browser or device.

These limitations do not apply if we have caused the loss intentionally or through gross negligence, and they do not restrict the rights you have under mandatory consumer protection legislation.

10. Personal data

How we handle personal data is described in our privacy policy.

11. Changes to the terms

We may need to change these terms, for example when the service gains new features. The date at the top shows when the terms were last changed. In the event of changes that significantly affect you, we will inform you in the service and, if you have an account, by e-mail before the changes take effect. If you continue to use the service after that, the new terms apply.

12. Governing law and disputes

Swedish law applies to these terms and to the use of the service. Disputes are settled by the general courts of Sweden. If you are a consumer living in another EU country, you retain the protection afforded to you by the mandatory rules of your country of residence.

13. Language

These terms are written in Swedish and may be translated into other languages. If a translation differs from the Swedish version, the Swedish version prevails.
