No more beard...

My beard pattern was probably my most popular pattern, but I had to remove it. I stated on the pattern that no one may sell the pattern or the final beard. However, this morning, I found two people on Etsy selling my beard. To prevent this from happening further, I had to remove the pattern. Sorry.

  1. Any chance we can get it by special request..? I favorite'd it on Ravelry when I had just started crocheting this past Christmas, but now that I feel I can finally stitch it, it's gone :(

  2. I would also like the pattern for my husband. He's been begging me for a hat like this and I finally found this pattern and now it's gone.

    If it would make you feel better I will give you the link to my Etsy shop so you can be sure I don't sell it.

  3. This makes me SOOOOOOOOOOOO (excuse me, but) PISSED off! Not at the writer of the pattern, but at the A-HOLES that can't respect other people's property (i.e. the pattern)! Sorry for the rant! I've had this favorited on Ravelry for a long time, and thought it would be hysterical to make this for my youngest brother, come cooler weather - and now it's been spoiled for the honest people out here.

    Please contact me via Ravelry if you would be willing to email the pattern. Thank you, and I'm totally sorry people out there are so ridiculous!

  4. I am still so sad about this! I can't believe the cheek of some people. I too would be so glad if you could email me the pattern for my own personal use, I never got round to writing it down or trying it out. I would never sell/reproduce the pattern, please let me know if you would be happy to share it with me. It's still one of my favourite posts on my blog :o)

  5. I also am so bummed about this. :( I made one for my husband and just sat down to start one for my dad and brother and alas! The pattern is gone. Loved the pattern and I hope someday you will be inclined to share it again.

  6. I really wanted to make this too! My bf makes music videos and will only sing when wearing disguises. It's his thing. I had this beard in mind for him and thought it would be super cute. Please let me know if you decide to share. I don't sell anything anywhere (WAY too busy to crochet for profit) and will even send you a link of him wearing it on youtube!

  7. I used to have a Quilting design business & ran across this problem all the time. People would take pics instead of paying $5. for a pattern.
    I'd respectfully like to point out to you that I do understand how you feel, but, would like to ask a question that might give you a better perspective on the problem.

    How does removing this pattern from the use of the "Honest" crafters that only want to make one or several of these for their family members remove them from the hands of the ones that are already making them for profit?

    I hope you'll change your mind about the pattern. Maybe if there's so much interest, you should sell it for a reasonable price. Thank you for any consideration. (((HUGS)))Verna
