How we make money

Last updated: 11 June 2026.

patternvibes is a direct-sale business. We make money one main way: selling our own crochet book, The Crochet Playbook, and its Full Kit edition. Both are delivered as instant digital downloads through Gumroad, our checkout and delivery partner.

No paywalled patterns masquerading as free

The free 5-pattern starter pack is genuinely free and complete — five full, hand-tested patterns plus a 7-tool kit. It is a real sample of how the book reads, not a teaser that stops at the good part. You never need to buy anything to use it.

Refund policy

14 days, no questions asked. If you open the book and decide it's not right for you, reply to your Gumroad receipt email with the word "refund" within 14 days and we refund you in full — no forms, no "what went wrong" survey. We would rather you stitch something you love than feel stuck with our book.

Because the product is a digital download, this voluntary 14-day window is our policy on top of any statutory rights you have where you live.

Affiliate links

Some pages may link to tools and yarn we genuinely use (for example crochet hooks or stitch markers). Where a link earns us a small commission at no extra cost to you, we say so next to the link. As an Amazon Associate, patternvibes may earn from qualifying purchases. Commission relationships never change which tools we recommend — if something pills, splits, or breaks, we say so.

You are never obligated to use an affiliate link. Search the product name and buy directly if you prefer — the price you pay is the same either way.
