Craft show season is upon us, my friends. If you’re not already knee-deep in market prep crochet projects, then now is the time to get started! Today I’m sharing the best craft fair crochet ideas to help you build up inventory for your upcoming craft show.
Craft fairs and markets are a great way to earn money from crocheting. I’ve participated in craft shows, and they’re a lot of work, but also a lot of fun! Creating the displays and selling my crocheted items in person are some of my favorite parts about craft shows. If you’re interested in selling your projects in craft shows, I highly recommend it!
Fall and winter markets are perfect for selling classic crocheted items like hats, scarves, gloves, and more. You can also sell items like bags, coffee cozies, and blankets (if you’re super ambitious)! Pick projects that are fast to make multiples of, and easy to customize in different colors and sizes.
This roundup of free crochet patterns showcases this year’s best projects to sell at your fall and winter craft show booth. Read on for my favorite market prep crochet patterns!
