Sales to the EU and Northern Ireland

As you may have already heard, the EU are bringing into force their updated GPSR regulation on the 13th of December 2024. This is a major update from the last regulation that focuses on product safety. Whilst we appreciate and support the need for product safety, the new regulation means all businesses selling to the EU and Northern Ireland must appoint an EU-responsible person. That person needs to be in place prior to the date of the regulation coming into force. This places an enormous cost on thousands of small businesses, which means this is not sustainable for many, including ourselves. Sadly this even includes our free special care baby knitting patterns.

As a result, we have been left with no option but to exclude sales to the EU and Northern Ireland directly from this site. We are just as saddened and disappointed as you are.

We have arrangements in place so that purchases from those areas can’t be made directly on this website. If however, a sale manages to get through, regrettably, we will have to cancel and refund that order.

We have closed our Etsy store and have temporarily suspended our printed and posted patterns. We are currently working on a project to bring back a limited service within the UK for printed and posted patterns. We hope to have this fully up and running soon. We will, of course, keep you updated.

We are so sorry it has come this. This is not what we wanted.

HOWEVER, we are now pleased to say that our patterns via our Lovecrafts outlet are covered by the new GPSR regulations and are available to everyone as instant downloads. Our free special baby care knitting patterns are also listed here. Depending on your location, the patterns may be subject to EU digital VAT at checkout. You can find our patterns here. https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-gb/search?q=dolliebabies
