💬 Crafty piece of advice: “Be welcoming to every customer! I’m a very introverted person, so it can be tough for me sometimes. Some customers love to talk, but for those who seem more reserved, I say hi and let them browse quietly. It’s great to interact with other vendors too! I’ve met so many wonderful, kind people at markets.”

💬 Crafty piece of advice: “Just go for it! I had thought about doing this for over a year and let my fears stop me from doing it. This is my first year doing craft shows and I’m loving it so far! I have a few more lined up for the year and am excited to gather more data on what sells best for me in my area.”
2. Ornaments

4. Purses and Bags
“Check Me Out” crossbody bags created by Compassionate Creations.
We still haven’t seen the last of the granny squares (and we probably never will, it’s a chic classic!), as they’re all the rage with crocheted tote bags this season! From 3D florals to simple square crossbodies, this style is sure to be a hit!
⭐ Star Stitcher: Laura, owner of Compassionate Creations
🧶 Most popular item at craft fairs: “Check Me Out” crossbody bags
💬 Crafty piece of advice: “Your work should be priced according to how much time you spent on it and the skills needed. People tend to undervalue crochet because machines try to replicate it and sell it for cheaper. If something is actually crochet, then it could only have been made with human hands — machines can’t copy what our hands can do.”
5. Scarves
Funky patterns and bright, bold colors will turn heads this year (with scarf fashion, that is). Even cool girls have their take with the balaclava style! If you sell fun scarves, you’ll be sure to attract fun buyers.
6. Keychains
Think critters, but even more mini. There’s nothing microscopic about the joy these keychains bring! From fictional icons like Miffy to trendy chickens and colorful fruit, these crochet charms can do more than spruce up a key ring.
Tips for Standing Out and Selling More Crocheted Crafts
“Start by making something you really love and are proud of. It should be creative but also useful — like an accessory or a cute decoration for your room, car, or anywhere, really.
When you put your heart into it, people can tell, and that makes all the difference.”
—Maya, Owner of HookedItUp
