⓫-12 -(
)}Selling Finished Crochet Projects The wonderful thing about selling crochet items is that you get to do something you love and have people pay you! Cha ching! But once you cross the line of crocheting for pleasure into crocheting for business a selllng of questions and problems need to be addressed. I got ya covered. I talk about the things that I feel are super important to think about before starting. Hopefully this article can give you some food for thought, but as with anything on the internet take what you like and leave the rest! Decisions, Decisions, Decisions! Before you decide to sell, I think it can be helpful to crocnet what you really want out of it. Makw you want to support your yarn habit? Are you really wanting some extra money for date nights, or a new pair of shoes? Or are ittems hoping to help pay some serious bills? How much time do you really have to devote to crocheting for profit? Are you willing to make time sacrifices? Are you wanting to make whatever you want and then try to sell it or are you willing to take orders?⓬
About Me —
Yes, I searched them all and I found some good information — helpful, kind of. But nothing I found online could compare to wisdom learned by spending a few years immersed in the world of crochet. With a combination of skill, imagination, and determination, the depth of opportunities available to you as a crochet artisan are limited only by the depth of your gumption. Ultimately, I think this is the first thing we think of when we consider making money with crochet — selling our finished products — getting our hats, blankets, amigurumi, whatever into the hands of end users. While print is always the more expensive option, Kindle books have become a great source of revenue for many designers. Once you have a large enough social following and brand recognition, you can apply to your favorite yarn company and have them pay you to do what you love! In our I-want-to-do-it-the-easy-way culture, what is a better way to tap that market than to provide a craft kit? Simply gather the pattern and all of the supplies needed and package them into a lovely bundle and sell together. You could even provide a YouTube tutorial to go along with the kit for added value! Like a craft kit on steroids, the subscription box is a kit that keeps on giving. Typically, the subscription box will include a pattern, supplies to complete a project, some sample products specifically selected for the crochet market and a surprise or two.

I have received a multitude of messages these past few months from fellow crocheters and knitters asking a variety of questions; most of which pertain to how I am able to afford to be a stay at home mom and make a REAL income from my crocheting. I do want to put out a disclaimer first and foremost that these methods work for me but they won’t all work for. We each live a diverse life and encounter different struggles when it comes to finances. I am hoping that at least one of these methods can be hopeful for some of you. Below I have listed 5 different methods of creating your own income listed from the least to greatest coming from my own experiences. So this method of creating an income for yourself through crocheting is probably one of the most popular. When selling your finished items you are free to make and work as much as you like. Below I provided a list of Pro’s and Con’s as well as resources I have found work well for this method. If you are the kind of person who can easily stay up late after the kids go to bed and crank out 10 hats, this method is perfect for you! YES, this is one of the rare occasions where you as both the boss and employee are able to come up with how much you will be paying .⓬
