> Knitters and crocheters who create patterns?
Wow, is that a thing? If you're willing to share, I'd love to hear more about these vocations and how they make money.

As far as I know they sell the patterns, not the finished knitted artifact. Aspiring knitters buy them to enjoy knitting. The physical representation of the pattern isn't worth anything (just a piece of paper), what you're buying is a license to use their intellectual property, so I'd say they're making money from copyright.
Do you only care about professional artists or something? Amateur artists deserve legal protection for their artwork too :/
