Craft fairs are so much fun! I love seeing unique artisan products, handmade by the vendors themselves. On the flip side, I think it goes without saying that it's every crocheter's dream to have their products selling like hot cakes at a fair. Quite often, makers might wonder: what are the best products to catch the attention of customers?
I put together a list of popular crochet items to sell well, and while I pulled them together with the idea of craft fairs in mind, I'd say they're also excellent for stocking online shops.
This particular list will focus on year-round items to make and sell for Spring and Summer craft fairs, as well as the Autumn / Fall and Winter seasons!
These patterns are:
- Quick to make (to easily stock up!)
- Doesn't require a lot of yarn (most are stashbusters)
- Cute, attractive, and generally eye-catching
- Unique and fun
- Great as gifts
- And best of all... FREE!!
