My BIGGEST Market Yet 🌻How Much $ I Made, Best Sellers, Prices & Crochet Inventory, Lessons Learned

[@Samantha_Butler]

For my last market, I made almost $200! I'm gonna put $100 into my savings account, and the other $100 I'm gonna try buying some premier parfait chunky yarn! I'm 12, so that's why I'm putting so much into my savings account! 😊 Edit: I forgot to mention, my cats were my absolute BEST sellers! Mostly because the place (which is a bakery) has a very cute cat there, which is why my cats sold sooo well! ❤

[@allezcrochet]

Congrats, that’s awesome!! ☺️

[@Samantha_Butler]

@@allezcrochet thank you! 🩷

[@ashleymiranda5188]

Am 12 two. I'm market prepping for my first market.

[@maddiesthings7520]

I am 12 to and am not sure if there are really any markets in my area!!

[@MintCrochets]

Congratulations! You're doing great!

[@KelliHediger]

Just a thought: if your yellow and orange items aren't selling as well in the spring and summer months, try them in the fall. They're as cute as the rest. The changing of the leaves just might spike your sales.

[@allezcrochet]

Ooo yes!! Thank you! 😊

[@shannoncrider6014]

I went to a craft market one time and I bought a sock creature plushie and this guy, it was a guy artist, named each of his creations. They were all unique, but I thought naming them and giving them a little back story was a really cute idea.

[@allezcrochet]

Aw that sounds so cute!

[@lunamalicreations]

I totally forgot to mention it, but I find it so helpful that when you go through all the inventory you bring to your markets you mention the total value!! It’s super helpful to hear this and keeps things in perspective!! When you hear final total sells without knowing the total cost of inventory it’s hard to judge how much you need to make/ bring!! I find your videos so informative and helpful and I can’t wait to see more market content on your channel!!!🎉😊

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you so much!! Glad I can offer helpful info! ☺️

[@LavenderLaneLoveys-mx8sv]

Okay, so it's kind of funny that I literally made the EXACT same amount at my market last night! lol! And YAS on the $5 items!! it really makes a HUGE difference in the traffic flow!

[@allezcrochet]

Omg that’s soo funny!!! Congrats on a successful market day!

[@taredo3]

These pieces are stunning and congrats on your Market!!!!

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@crochebyfoxy]

It is such a pleasure to listen to you!!! You have a nice voice!!! Your toys are wonderful!!!! I wish you much success in your business 🤗

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@SugarShockCrochet]

The singing donkey idea had me laughing so hard 😂🫶🏻 Great job at your market!! 👏🏻 Your videos are so fun please keep it up!!!

LOL that’s what I see every time I look at him 😂 thank you!!! ☺️

[@annettebryancronin7241]

Congratulations on all your sales. Can't wait for your pattern to come out. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you so much!! The pattern is out now on my Etsy! ☺️

[@stevenkyle2313]

Subscribed!!! Just started crocheting in December. Funny story, I bought a DIY crochet elephant kit that I planned on making for my husband for Christmas. I had no crochet knowledge whatsoever and for some reason I thought I’d be able to read the directions and make the elephant. Boy, was I wrong . I began watching videos and practicing every single spare moment I had. It became an obsession. I have stuck with it. I did make the elephant eventually. But not before Christmas 😂 I just upgraded from the cheap hook that came with the elephant kit to a clover set:) I’m very interested in doing markets in the future so this was very informative.,

[@allezcrochet]

Omg when starting, the directions look like they’re in another language, pretty much cause they are! 😂 That’s awesome you stuck with it!! I’m so glad you liked the video, I LOVE doing markets and I hope you will too!!

[@craftingwithpaula]

Congratulations your stuff is adorable! Well deserved ❤

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you so much!!

[@kaymastclinic2171]

Loving your videos and wow congrats on your sales.

Thank you!

[@quiettornado1970]

I've seen a lot of crocheter with those chicken, and every time I always thought they were Hello kitties.

[@allezcrochet]

Haha funny, I’ve never noticed!

[@WovenTalesDesigns]

Loved this video, and i adore the way you shared your experiences! Best of luck with your upcoming markets!

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you so much!! ☺️

[@Okihenlo]

I’ve been binging your videos and just realized you just posted this one!

[@allezcrochet]

Haha thank you!!! Third market recap will be out next week! ☺️🫶🏼

[@briannaredpipe4300]

I love your videos! Excited to see more. I hope you do vlogs and market prep videos some day too 😊

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you!! Definitely planning on it! I have been doing lots of markets lately, so lots of recap videos! But once my market schedule slows down I’m planning on doing some prep videos, vlogs, tutorials, etc ☺️

[@Devil_bby_]

OH NOOO. Just finished my first ever crochet. It was so hard I was pulling my hand each piece over the hook, decided to watch this before starting the next bit, You mentioned the white chicken bcs of using the wrong hook and I just in that moment realised I made my flower pot using a big hook just bcs I wanted to use the cute pink handle hook not orange like in the tutorial….I’m just a girl 😭😭😭😭! I don’t know there’s different hook sizes 🤣🥲🥲🥲

[@allezcrochet]

That’s ok!! There’s so much to learn but you’re doing great and you’ve got this!!😊

[@jacquelineseccombe7252]

Really Enjoyed You Video All Your Items Are Incredibly Cute, I Love The Chickens In The Crate Brilliant Idea ❤

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you so much!!😊

[@Ameliaspetals]

Hii! Could you possibly make a video on all of the basic skills that you need to start to learn that is easy enough for complete beginners that don’t know what slip knots are or anything like that? So could you explain what stitches and knots you need for certain things in crochet and stuff like that? Thank you! Also new sub!

[@allezcrochet]

Hi! I may be able to one day! Maybe I can make one video with all the major stitches, there are other videos on KZbin I know! That’s how I learned😊

[@Ameliaspetals]

@@allezcrochet thank you! Can you also do a detailed and slow magic ring tutorial that is what I am struggling with :)

[@Whimsyyarnwork]

I was watching my favorite TV show and hopped on KZbin, I can't express how fast I clicked on this video once I saw it! Woohoo! Congrats on your market!!

[@allezcrochet]

Omg thank you so much!! ☺️ it was such a good day!

[@Whimsyyarnwork]

​@allezcrochet You're welcome! You really have a great start to your KZbin, I'm excited to see all your videos in the future! And I'm so hopeful for a good turnout like this for my first market. It's only 10 days away now, so I'm watching crochet content and crocheting like my life depends on it 😂

[@ginadyson4214]

thank u for sharing!!! keep up the good work in your hobby!!!!

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you!!😊

[@UnicornsRreal777]

Thank you for this informational video! Its very helpful for someone who is new to crochet but would love to eventually make stuff to sell! I have a suggestion for the kiwi! Maybe trying making one with a different color circle inside like a very opaque green or you could also use a different green to contrast where the seeds are placed if that makes sense! There are also yellow kiwi's :3. Hope thats helpful!

[@allezcrochet]

Thanks so much!!!😊 and so glad you liked the video!

[@lorrainebell7926]

I'd love one of your dragons xx

[@laurielandon7589]

Congratulations so happy for you. Loved your tutorial and sharing your story. I just found your channel and will be subscribing 🎉. Ty again.

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you so much for watching!! It means so much! 😊

[@intentionalgreyarea]

So happy you're doing so well, and I'm so happy I found your channel! I love these type of videos and your creations are so cutee! I'm definitely saving up to try to buy one of your plushies! Also, I wonder if you label the giant strawberry as a pillow for others to read it might get more attention. Some people might just not know what to do with such a large plushie, but if label it specifically as a pillow, you might get more attention with it.

[@allezcrochet]

Omg thank you so much!!! ☺️ And good idea for the strawberry! I’ll try to find a good way to label it!

[@judithmontmarquette-nq6bn]

Love the bees!

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you so much!!😊

[@marriethesassycrafter6324]

Thank you so much for making this video it really helps also you should make lemons they sell so good and More Cows

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you so much!! Definitely want to make some more cows!😊

[@Rifasadventures]

Where can we put a stall as a market?

[@TheCreativeRobloxian]

I did a crochet market when I was 11 and I made almost $400 My first Market I only made $100 so this was a big improvement also, I can't believe other people sell their triceratops for so hot. I was selling mine for $4 and you sell them for $15 😮

[@allezcrochet]

Wow that’s so awesome!!😊 Pricing has sooo many variables and really depends on your area/what your market has shown they’re willing to pay

[@Kim-cq5gk]

I saw a donut too!

[@irisacunapizzolati7437]

Hi, may i ask what type of yarn did you use and where did you buy it. Thanks 😊

[@allezcrochet]

Hi! I mostly use parfait chunky (by premier yarns) and sweet snuggles lite from Michael’s 😊

[@wallysworld3435]

I never heard of an axolottal (I know that’s not spelled right) until I started watching crochet market reviews a month or 3 ago. Maybe still don’t know what it is!

[@allezcrochet]

Haha I didn’t know until a few years ago either! It apparently has become very popular with younger kiddos due to Minecraft!

[@andreablack1516]

Such cute things! I bet the axelotols sell because of Minecraft!

[@allezcrochet]

Omg yes I think you’re right!!

[@dannyrpgninetwooak6434]

I crochet with worsted yarn and I price my stuff based on size because of how iffy I am with doing it by the hour. Though, if I want to price my amigurumi by the hour using worsted yarn, how much do you suggest I should charge for it? I was thinking of $16 by the hour since I could never figure out the cost of materials for each individual item I make, but I do want hear your suggestions about how to price my amigurumi properly. I'm also generally a slow crocheter, since I'm making sure I got the details and the stitch count correct. I also use smaller hooks unless the pattern instructions say otherwise. And no, I don't have any blanket or chenille yarn.

[@allezcrochet]

Hi! It really all depends on your area and what you feel is appropriate. I do $15/hr plus materials but that’s because my market has shown it works. I would recommend starting in the middle, doing a few markets, and adjusting prices accordingly! If something flies, people will probably be willing to pay a little more and if it doesn’t move, take some off. But above all start at a prices that compensates you fairly! I hope this helps!

[@CupcakeKid-rb9ws]

So I’m 12 and I started crochet a month ago with the woobles kits. I highly recommend them they helped me learn a lot. And I just finished my first plushie that’s not the woobles. It was a breeze I finished it in less than five hours. I want to do a in a few months market but I don’t know how to get the yarn becuase usually my parents buy things for my hobbies for me. Also I don’t know when to do market do I wait a month a year I don’t know do you have some advice.

[@allezcrochet]

That’s so awesome! I would say whenever you have a good amount of inventory (whatever feels right to you) then ask your parents and they can maybe help you sign up for a market!

[@KelliMcLaughlin23]

I wonder how a psychedelic mushie boi would look? Black body maybe with tie dye top? Galaxy would look cool too!

[@allezcrochet]

Ooooo that sounds sooo cool! A jumbo mushy boi version 😍 in my video this week I sold 3 jumbos! People love them!

[@tracyshelton5599]

Do you have a pattern for the melon s and 🍄? Dinos and your 🐉 and 🐔 s

[@allezcrochet]

The patterns are in the description!😊

[@CrochetwithClare]

When you talk to the camera, can you look at the lense instead of yourself, it looks like you are looking at my shoulder and not looking at me 😂

[@allezcrochet]

lol I’ll try to remember!

[@Roddy349]

Where do you buy those big yarn??

[@allezcrochet]

I mostly use parfait chunky by premier and sweet snuggles lite from michaels😊

[@leelalita7402]

put bailey the bee in the white house, she is what we need.

[@allezcrochet]

LOL she would get the job DONE 😆

[@whatthefairuse]

Interested in your video but the music is distracting. Love some of your designs and love the 5 dollar items

[@allezcrochet]

Thanks for the feedback. I’m brand new to video editing and still trying to figure out audio.

[@ritax8411]

SORRY but that music is rather annoying. Other than that, your video was great!✨

[@katiasemeykin2926]

You are so sweet and nice! I like how you make your video! Very interesting! Nice job!!! Good luck!

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you so much, you’re so kind!! 😊

[@huyenly7603]

The 1st pineapple is giving pepper vibes... Maybe make it red, a little pointier, a stem, and you can have a spicy fruit! 🌶 Sorry...I just put the peppers down in my garden, so they are on the brain apparently. lol

[@allezcrochet]

Omg good idea!! Mini veggie bundle next?? 🤔😂

[@lynneholden6216]

Thank you for your video it was interesting and very cute, I was chuckling about your 3rd version of the Pineapple I needed that today, Thanks and good luck! I'm new at crocheting, I'm still wprking on my Bernat Blanket, I'm making it for myself before I really get into it! Those items you showed in this video are so cute I would have no idea how to even start! Thanks again, Enjoy!🪴

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you so much for watching!! That’s awesome that you’re getting into crochet! I learned everything from KZbin tutorials and lots of practice! Good luck, you’ve got this! ☺️

[@saraprice8843]

I thought it was antennae pronounced (an-ten-eye) maybe im wrong lol! 🤣

[@allezcrochet]

Omg you may be right 😅 I have no idea!!

[@MontanaSlime]

I think people think that the strawberry is decoration

[@allezcrochet]

It sold!😊

[@ZaAdventureGirls]

Kiwi

[@1969sonar]

I cannot believe the prices you got on these things! 10 for a little octopus and 5 for a simple keychain?! You can make 3 in an hour easily. Do people actually pay that amount of money for those things? I sell crochet in the Netherlands and I sell keychains for €1,50 and octopus etc for €2 and even with those prices many people comment on the hight of the prices and I sell hardly anything. I hear the same thing from other crochet sellers. Pillow covers with the pillow inside, made with granny squares or flowers I sell for 10 euro and even then people try to get me to sell them 2 for €15. I wonder why there's such a big difference😕

[@teacherexplained853]

Congratulations on your success. You might sell more by lowering the prices… I kept cringing at the prices 😑

[@allezcrochet]

Hi there! My prices are set at $15/hr plus materials.

[@irmagarcia4012]

​@allezcrochet and you sick to that. Crochet can ONLY be done by hand. There are no machines that Crochet. Knitting, yes, crocheting no. I charge about the same. 20 an hour, including supplies. Everybody's outcomes are different. People need to stop pricing so low just to sell. Again, some people don't have the best quality of work. For those who do need to price right.

[@dnatsrednUouYoD]

Ive always thought those chickens would make SUPER cute door stoppers! Filling them with heavy grains (or heavy plastic beads if you're concerned about moisture) so they can hold open doors would be so cute. Lil floor chimken 🐔

[@allezcrochet]

Awwww that would be a-door-able 😂

[@lunamalicreations]

As a fellow crocheter who also asks her boyfriend what he thinks of my makes, I’m convinced that as helpful as it is, sometimes only crocheters really know what we’re making 😂 or the buyers lol But my boyfriend still gives very helpful feedback so I won’t stop asking even if he’s wrong sometimes 😊

[@allezcrochet]

Hahaha yes! My husband gives me so much good advise ☺️

[@lunamalicreations]

Supportive partners are the best! 😊❤

[@adelaideaugustin3554]

Maybe you could add a cute face to your big strawberry =D

[@allezcrochet]

Omg I might try that! Thanks!! ☺️

I've just found your channel, this is the first video of yours I have watched. Instantly subscribed and liked!! You are so funny and interesting g to watch and your editing is spot on! Sorry for being a creep I just thought I'd show a hand of appreciation for your efforts. 😊🎉

[@allezcrochet]

Omg thank you so much 😂 I’ve definitely been having a lot of fun learning how to edit my videos!

[@WendyMoule]

keep the price point on the large strawb but embroider a face on her!

[@allezcrochet]

Good idea! I’ve sold it since this video tho!

Thank you Shalyn!! ☺️

[@renew9248]

This was so helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm curious how many bags do you bring and how much cash for change?

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you!! I feel like typically it’s around 50 $1 bills, and then like 10 each of $5 and $10 bills. Maybe a little less. And then for bags I just bring the pack I got on Amazon! (It’s linked in the description) so far I haven’t gotten through them all yet!

[@SafaAbdallah-sk8in]

Where did you buy the yarn behind you? I love ur vids:)

[@allezcrochet]

Thank you!! It’s mostly parfait chunky by premier and sweet snuggles lite from Michael’s 😊

[@lunamalicreations]

I’m also allergic to cats so I seem to have a habit of collecting crochet cat patterns lol and the loaf cat is definitely on my to make list!!

[@allezcrochet]

It’s such a cute pattern!!! ☺️

[@lunamalicreations]

I have to make it soon!!😊

[@NichaGamer21]

26:11 I'm alone there's no one here beside me, anyway the donkey is so cute I don't get why no one adopted it, I'm pretty sure that it will find a home soon 33:09 also you could make a little strawberry key chain too, if you want to

[@allezcrochet]

Haha he has found his forever home since then! And actually 3 other donkeys have too!!😊

[@CasualKnitter]

Thank you Morgan for posting it's so interesting and it looks exhausting 😅

[@allezcrochet]

Haha it’s a lot of work but it’s fun work! ☺️

[@artisticgirlforever]

I love to make like little kids show keychains or plushies, unless it’s copyrighted! it’s because the markets my parents used to go to had a lot of kids so I make kids show crochet things, stocking up for my first market! I’m making 3 paw patrol set keychains (for matching keychains for friends) 2 bluey,muffin, and bingo keychains, 4 gir plushies (mostly so I can grief over gir due to the fact that is still one of my favorite cartoons) and more! the market will be a blast, I will have one kids section, and one normal section for normal crochet plushies and stuff!

[@allezcrochet]

That sounds so cool!!😊

[@ameliaultis3557]

I often wind down my evenings with watching other crochet maker market type videos like yours. You tube must have thought I’d like to watch your video because it just popped up without my looking. You really do have a great voice and manner about you that makes you pleasant to listen to. I also enjoyed are you own interruptions. lol. I actually laughed out loud with pineapple #3. 😂 that was great. I can relate! Much blessings in your crochet business journey, I just know you will do fantastic! Nice second market sales!! Congratulations 🎉

Loll, just finished your previous video and came to check if the next was uploaded yet. Just in time loll.

[@allezcrochet]

lol perfect timing!! You’re probably the first to watch! ☺️💛

[@Joeycrochet]

How do you price if you use the full skein? I want to sell but not sure how to price

[@allezcrochet]

If you use the whole skein, I would add that into the price! I do $15 an hour plus materials. So if it takes you 2 hours to make and you use an entire $5 skein, it would be $35. Hope this helps!

[@hyacinth-bloom]

Hello! I’ve been crocheting for a while and am really interested in crochet markets, so I have a few questions: how do you find markets near you? I’ve been looking around but I can’t find any and I’m not sure where to search. Also, what is the rule for the patterns people can use to sell? Like is it completely fine to just sell anything you find, or just unless specified by the person who made the pattern, or do you have to create every pattern yourself? Your video had a ton of great info for getting started with markets, so thank you!

[@allezcrochet]

Thats great! I find all my markets on Facebook! I’m a member of several different vendor groups. Then when I’m at markets, I usually chat with vendors and see what other shows are out there! Typically, most pattern creators are ok with you selling finished products as long as you cite them as the creator/tag them. Hope this helps, good luck! 😊

[@hyacinth-bloom]

@@allezcrochet Thank you so much!

[@SabrinaArroyo-ft8pw]

A little avocado keychain would be cute too

[@allezcrochet]

Ooo I like that idea!

[@TeenyFroggs]

Orange and Yellow are my worst selling colours by far, I make keychains too and I enjoy how you go into details on what colours sold!!

[@allezcrochet]

Yes it seems those two colors are the least favorites!! I did sell one orange mushy boy today, but that is the first and only one!

[@TeenyFroggs]
