I’m going to try to do my first ever market to sell my crochet goods. It’ll be a Halloween Festival in a small town. Does anyone have any suggestions for good things to make that people will want to buy?

    Warm clothing, like scarves and beanies, will probably be in demand before winter…

      second this.

      My favorite winter hat was crochet by someone selling in my area. It’s the color of fall leaves, slinky, and warm. $45, but lined with wool. Worth every penny.

      I’ll try to make a couple hats! I typically make amigurumi type things. Lil animals and stuff, but I’ve made a cat ear beanie before

        Amigurumi kaiju and other folklore monsters might be a big hit, there’s a woman who crochets and sells dragons and stuff at one of the annual markets we do and she seems to do pretty well by it.

          That does sound cool, but I’m not sure it’s the best option for small southern town market. I’ll try it if I go somewhere that’s not going to be mostly parents and trick or treating kids

        Well, my first thought was that a little knitted pumpkin would be cute. I just don’t know, if folks would want to buy that on Halloween when Spooktober is already over. 😅
