One of my first patterns created about 10 years ago was called "Cat Crowd". It has also been one of my most popular patterns and because it was so popular a few "New-to-Etsy" designers have copied it. In fact, it's been copied so many times that I'm now giving it away for free. I've included the pen wrap pattern in the same design.
If you are a pattern designer or an aspiring pattern designer, can you please not do that? You may make a few sales but you are also gaining a reputation amoung other designers as a cheat. We are a fairly small community and trust me when I say this, we know who is copying our work. If you want to design, then design and please do it with some integrity and originality.
Thank you.
