JMCDA replied: seems pretty clear to me...personal use is intending to use the pattern for your own personal use and enjoyment. Commercial use is intending to use the patterns and instructions for the purpose of making money.
I suppose if the book said "you may jump in a lake personally but you may not sell tickets to go jump in a lake" you would then go jump in a lake before using a pattern in the book?
The restriction you found in the book, is it trying to claim their 'copyright' restricts you from selling items the buyer made using their book? If so... the copyright restriction is hogwash and should be ignored.
