I have no idea where to post this -- if this is the inappropriate board, please move this.
Okay. So, I'm making a sock pattern. In this sock pattern I used a modified version of a stitch from a knitting stitch pattern book. These modifications of the stitch are integral to the build of the pattern -- I modified it so that it can be worked in the round, and also another modified version so it will lie flat in a rectangle, because the original stitch made flat fabric that was rhomboid. However, these modifications do not significantly alter the appearance of the stitch, as it is still an alternating rib with loop overs, loop overs being a somewhat uncommon knitting technique.
Would I be able to sell this sock pattern with these modified versions of this stitch to a magazine, or would that be infringing on intellectual property?
