I knit a sweater and wrote a pattern using a traditional knitting motif/design. Do I own copyright in anything?

In what could you own copyright? There\’s the motif or design, the sweater, and the pattern. Because the motif/design is traditional and you didn\’t create it, you don\’t own copyright in that. However, assuming your sweater and pattern are original, copyright may subsist in those works.
