Fall is upon us! Many of our normal autumn festivities have been cancelled or moved online, and for many crocheters and crafters, this slow fall market season is sadder than dropping our ice cream in the dirt!
While there are fewer events to choose from, there are many shoppers who are already online screaming “Take my money!” and want to support small handmade businesses.
If you are able to participate in an upcoming market, I know you want to make the most of your time and effort to create bestselling crochet gifts that shoppers want.
I’ve put together this roundup to help you focus on a few key categories that I see trending or have had firsthand success with at markets and online. Many of these I have sold lots of both on Etsy and to family/friends via social media posts. Some are free patterns, some are paid.
I hope you find a pattern or two that you can crank out several of for your upcoming market or craft show. I hope that these will not only be fun to create but will be crowd-pleasers.
