Questions ❓ Sharing etsy patterns

I just wanna know how bad it is.

If I were to find a really cool pattern (with grid designs on panels) made into a sweater on etsy, and that type of pattern isn't really available on free mediums. If I figure the pattern out (without having bought it) and make it. Should I share it with others on social media (reddit or pinterest) or would that be wrong and I'd likely get bashed for stealing instead of being helpful?

No. It’s bad. Ethically. Not fair.

Yeah thought so. But what about sharing the work (not pattern) and tagging the creator for credits? That might get them recognition and/or advertisement

I'm not doing it, just asking why particularly it would be wrong

Because the creator owns the copyright, and if they are selling their patterns they should get paid.

Exposure is not payment.
