9 Crochet Craft Fair Ideas for Spring & Summer
I see this question come up quite often in the crochet community: "What are some crochet items that sell well during Spring & Summer?" If you are used to making scarves and hats to sell online or at craft fairs, then you might be scratching your head too! So I decided to conduct some market research on what's trending right now and put together a little list of ideas to inspire you.
You'll notice that a lot of these crochet items that sell well are on the smaller side. In the crochet world, it can sometimes be really hard to sell your items for what they are actually worth. People just don't understand all the time, love and energy that goes into the products you make! So you will want a lot of your crochet items that sell to be quick to whip up.
