Best-Selling Crochet Items for Fall: Patterns and Ideas

I love doing craft fairs. It’s so fun for an artist to actually be out and interacting with her future customers. Being able to talk with them, and see which items they gravitate towards is so useful in my business. I can see, and hear, first hand, their thoughts on different products.

From being at multiple craft fairs, I have learned so much, including:

Their thoughts on pricing.
If the products are something they would actually buy.
If they think the products being displayed are good quality.
What sizes are most popular.
And more…

I have learned these things through talking with customers AND just watching their interactions with the items in my booth, and what they may say to their family and friends about that item.

I feel like I have a good grasp as to what will and won’t sell at these craft fairs. The hardest time of year to sell crocheted items has to be the warmer weather months. I started compiling a list of items that sell well during this time to help other people out. You can find that list here.

Then, I realized that it would be helpful to create some more lists for the other times of the year. I’m hoping to help out people who are new to the crochet and fair business and who could use help in this area. It’s no fun bringing items that don’t sell. I’ve been there. I’ve had good fair days and bad fair days, and along the way I have learned a lot.

Here are some great ideas to help get your inventory ready for those FALL craft fairs! I’m sure that there are other items that sell well, in fact I’m positive, but I am posting the ones that I have personal experience with. These items do in fact sell, and sell well.

Decor

A lot of people LOVE Fall. It’s one of my favorite seasons, and there are many who are right there with me. People love to decorate for the different seasons, and Fall is filled with beautiful colors to adorn your home with. The two main items that sell for me in this category are wreaths and stuffed pumpkins.

Stuffed Pumpkins: Kids especially love these cute little pumpkins, but they are also great to decorate the home! They are easy and quick to make!

Wearables

Unlike most people, I actually love it when the craft fair is outside and it is COLD. You wouldn’t believe how many more hats and scarves I sell on these days! There are so many styles that sell well but I’ll just show you some of the favorites.

Also, I wanted to note that a lot of people have asked me if I have fingerless gloves for sale. Their hands are so cold they are just looking for something to warm up. I’ve never had them at my booth, so I don’t know how well they would sell, but I have been asked many times!
