Return Policy

Thank you for shopping at Knotty Bear Studio!


Digital Products

All digital items—including crochet patterns, digital journals, and templates—are non-refundable. Due to the nature of digital products, once the files have been downloaded, we cannot offer refunds, returns, or exchanges.

If you experience any issues with your digital download, please contact us at knottybearstudio@gmail.com, and we’ll be happy to assist you.


Physical Products

Claims for misprinted, damaged, or defective items must be submitted within 30 days after the product has been received. For packages lost in transit, all claims must be submitted no later than 30 days after the estimated delivery date.

  • Please contact us within 7 days of delivery and ship items back within 14 days of delivery.
  • Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value.

Knotty Bear Studio does not offer refunds for buyer’s remorse. All items are made to order and shipped directly from our printers, meaning we do not hold stock. Each item is crafted specifically for you, so please ensure you are confident in your purchase before completing your order.

Thank you for your understanding!

If a shipping carrier is unable to deliver an order due to an incorrect address or an unclaimed package, you will have 14 days from the estimated delivery date to let us know at knottybearstudio@gmail.com of the issue. Please confirm the correct shipping address. You will be responsible for any additional shipping costs.
