You cannot make copies to give to others. You can give them your copy, or they can buy their own.

Imagine being the designer who created the pattern, wrote down all the instructions step by step, took photos, tested the pattern, re-wrote the pattern including any corrections and clarifications, printed them, packaged them, and distributed them, then you find out a quilt shop was copying the one pattern they had purchased from you and was selling them full price. Yes that really happened.
