Karma-Please don't steal my hat pattern

Putting out the Anarchy Irony Hat pattern was fun and I like the idea of anyone who can crochet and read a pattern, making their own. However, it's weird that a few crafty people don't realize you cannot take my pattern and make your own Anarchy Irony Hat to sell. Unless it is noted or in the public domain, published patterns of any kind are not to be used in that fashion.

My hat designs are copyrighted and the one in the book is to be made for oneself or a friend not to be sold. I don't want to be one of those people constantly adding more and more "disclaimers" or copyright notes on their website, but when you start getting emails from England asking if it is okay to make the hat in the book and sell them there...you wonder what is going through their minds. No, it's not okay. You can make them to give them away. I highly encourage all hookers out there to get wildly experimental and create without patterns, new designs, new ideas. It feels good to make something original, remakes are so out.
