11 Ways to Make Money With Crochet

September 7, 2018 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

Crochet is a hobby enjoyed by millions of people around the world. It’s a craft that involves using yarn and a hook to create intricate designs and patterns. However, as much as crocheting can be a fun and relaxing activity, it can also be an expensive one. Yarn, hooks, and other necessary materials can add up quickly, especially if you’re working on large projects.

Fortunately, there are many ways to turn your love of crochet into a profitable venture. Whether you’re looking to make a full-time income or just earn some extra cash, there are plenty of opportunities to monetize your crochet skills. From selling finished products to teaching classes or creating tutorials, there are countless ways to make money with your crochet.

One option is to sell your finished crochet products. There are many online platforms that allow you to sell your handmade items, such as Etsy, Amazon Handmade, and eBay. You can create a shop on these websites and list your crochet creations for sale. Some popular items to sell include blankets, scarves, hats, and stuffed animals.

Another way to monetize your crochet skills is to teach classes or workshops. If you’re an experienced crocheter, you can offer classes to people in your community or even online. You can teach beginners how to get started with crochet, or offer more advanced classes for experienced crocheters looking to learn new techniques.

Creating tutorials or patterns is another way to make money with your crochet. You can create written or video tutorials showing people how to create specific crochet projects or techniques. You can sell these tutorials on your own website or on platforms like Ravelry or Etsy.

If you’re looking for a more passive income stream, you can consider creating and selling digital crochet patterns. This involves creating a pattern for a crochet project and selling it online. You can sell your patterns on platforms like Ravelry, Etsy, or even on your own website.

Selling crochet supplies and materials is another option for making money with your crochet. If you have a knack for finding great deals on yarn, you can buy in bulk and resell it online or in person. You can also sell crochet hooks, stitch markers, and other necessary supplies.

If you’re looking for a more creative outlet, you can consider creating and selling crochet kits. This involves putting together a kit that includes all the necessary materials and instructions for a specific crochet project. You can sell these kits online or in person.

Other ways to make money with your crochet include selling your services as a pattern tester, creating and selling custom orders, or even offering your crochet skills for hire on websites like Fiverr or Upwork.

In conclusion, whether you’re looking to turn your love of crochet into a full-time business or just earn some extra cash, there are many ways to monetize your crochet skills. From selling finished products to teaching classes or creating tutorials, there are countless opportunities to make money with your crochet. So why not turn your hobby into a profitable venture?

One thing I have learned is the need for immediate gratification when making purchases, Links to our E-books and E-patterns are for more profitable than paper book books. Being able to get your pattern instantly is crucal to crafters. So if you are selling patterns then that is something to take into consideration.   Etsy is a great way to see patterns, people are confident with its services and feel that their transactions are safe.
