Starting a crochet business

Hello everyone,

I’m in the early stages of launching my crochet business and I’m doing some market research to better understand what people are most interested in. This isn’t a sales pitch—just looking for honest feedback to help guide my offerings.

I currently make a lot of baby blankets and can create larger ones as well (though they do come at a higher cost). Beyond that, I’d love to know what types of handmade items you’d be most interested in:

• Wearables (hats, scarves, sweaters)?

• Bags or accessories?

• Stuffed animals or toys?

• Something else?

Your input would be greatly appreciated—thank you for helping me shape this new venture!

What I wish I knew b4 starting crochet plushies!
*read me!!* I could make a whole series on this topic! But we’ll start with these that were super big learning curves for me ❤️❤️ 1. Hook sizes make a huge difference! The smaller the hook, the tighter your work will look when you’re done crocheting and this is especially important for plushies
