Quick Answers

Here are some of the most common questions I receive about my free crochet patterns, tutorials, and crochet-alongs.

Can I sell finished items?

Yes, you are welcome to sell the finished items you make from my free crochet patterns. Please give design credit to Oombawka Design Crochet when sharing or selling your work.

Do you have print-friendly versions?

Yes. Each of my free patterns includes a Printer button that lets you download or print a copy. Many of my designs are also available as ad-free Premium PDFs in my shops.

How do I adjust hat sizes?

You can adjust hat sizes by following my hat size charts and checking the stitch counts listed in each pattern. I also share tips in my tutorials for customizing height and fit.

What yarn and hook should I use?

Each pattern lists the yarn weight, brand, and hook size I used. You can substitute with similar yarns — just remember that changing yarn weight or hook size will affect the finished size.

Do you offer free crochet tutorials?

Yes. Along with my free patterns, I provide step-by-step photo and video tutorials for stitches and techniques. You can find them in my Crochet Stitch Dictionary and on my site under Tutorials.

Can I share your patterns?

You are welcome to share a link to my patterns on social media, in groups, or with friends. Please do not copy and repost the full pattern — always link directly to Oombawka Design Crochet.

What Crocheters Are Saying

  • This is super helpful! I’ve been crocheting for years, following patterns exactly and making gauge swatches and still not getting hats that fit! I tested one of your patterns, and I have a hat that fits. And the math to make every hat pattern fit! Thank you.
  • I L-O-V-E the Morgan Crochet Hat. I crochet hats exclusively for male cancer patients. This hat is VERY popular. Thank you for this design that is being incorporated into my rotation.
  • Thank you so much for this pattern. I am 80 years old and this is the first pair of mittens I have ever made. I am so proud of them. God bless you for this pattern.
  • Everything has worked out perfect. Thank you for all of your angel patterns that you do. I made my niece 10 of the 2016 angels for this year she gives to her teachers for Christmas. She is my nieces daughter and she is 6 years old. So thank you again
