Yes! EVEN if the author/pattern package says is not allowed. No one has the right to determine what will happen to a product made from a legally acquired pattern. That concept was settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, and is referred to as The First-Sale Doctrine.
Do you suppose this includes fabric like colligate or NFL?
Apparently you can legally make an item out of licensed fabric and then sell the item. See these articles for info:
