HELP?!?!?! I need to know what you think will sell.?

Question

I just started crocheting recently, I know a bunch of patters, but I need some ideas on stuff that will sell. I need some money for various things, and I know my aunt makes a lot of money selling things she crochets. So please leave as many ideas as possible.

Answer 1

If it is homemade it will sell easier than other items.
I say make what you love and really sell it to the customers by telling about it and how much you love the sticth work or the pattern.
I see you makeing a lot of money by just talking to the customers.

Answer 2

There are some crocheted fashions that are popular, such as crocheted halter tops, shawls, certain hat styles, bikini swimsuits (if you do some research in the fashion world and on online auctions, you can make some good decisions on what you could make that might sell the best).

Someone else already mentioned this and it's a very good point ... to protect yourself legally, if thinking of using a pattern that's currently protected by copyright, be sure to write to the designer or publisher to ask for permission to sell items made from that pattern. Or try to come up with your own original patterns to make into finished items to sell instead (it's always a plus to have something unique to help boost your sales).

Items made with yarn (or crochet thread) in the United States that are offered for sale are required by USA Textile Labeling Laws to have certain labels attached (the fines are stiff if caught not having these labels on crocheted or knitted items being sold, so it's a good idea to read up on this):

If you decide to make anything to sell that's stuffed (like stuffed animal toys), there are separate laws (and an official registration) required by law for that. There's some information about how to check on these regulations for the USA state in which you live:

I hope you have lots of success!

Answer 3

If you can use a small hook and thin crochet cotton.....try making small snowflake ornaments for Christmas ( Lots of people start this early preparing for next Christmas). I shared a table at a show with a friend that crocheted and the snowflakes sold out quickly. Flower brooches made with colorful crochet cotton are another good seller as well as hair ornaments. Also, try learning to crochet with very thin sterling silver wire and beads to make unique jewelry.....cuff bracelets are a good place to start. And white Perle cotton booties with matching bonnets make great Christening accessories.Purses and evening bags are a good possibility too.

Answer 4

The best thing to do is check out a local craft fair to see what's selling. The key is to come up with something useful, but with a unique "twist". Because of copyright laws, you shouldn't use published designs to make your items to sell without first checking with the designer/publisher.
You could also check out ebay to see what's selling there.

Answer 5

This totally depends on where you are and what the market is like, and where you will sell things.
However, things I buy for myself, and for gifts for family and friends:
scarves, mittens, headbands (to warm ears), toques
tea cozy, doilies, runners, edging (to add onto needlepoint pieces I do)
afghans, all sizes from baby to big ones -- these sell really well
Baby items - blankets, sweater-booties-hat sets for really little babies
- Maybe some of these are for only knitting, but I gave it a try....
