IMHO, I think "sharing/loaning" a pattern should be okay, and different from "Copying", which is against copyright law. So just be up front with the copyright thing and you don't need to come up with excuses that may be upsetting to her.

I HAVE LOANED AND BORROWED THINGS NUMEROUS TIMES. NOT ONCE HAVE I FELT RESENTFUL IN DOING SO. IN MY GROUP, IT IS CALLED SHARING. NO ONE IS INTENTIONALLY DOING SOMETHING ILLEGAL. JUST BEING FRIENDNS. SORRY IF THIS FEELING OFFENDS ANYONE. IT IS NOT MEANT TO. JUST SHARING OUR THOUGHTS.

Why ruin a friendship over a $12 pattern. I would buy her a copy of the pattern and tell her that I believe in honoring copyrights but wanted her to have a copy since she loved it so much. Hopefully next time she will have the courtesy to buy her own pattern.
