How to Build Confidence in Your Crochet Business
updated
So I did what any self-respecting yarn enthusiast would do: and experiment. I crocheted some swatches, grabbed my iron and a couple types of HTV, and put it to the test!
🚨 Spoiler alert: the results were surprisingly awesome. In this video, I’ll show you exactly what happened, what worked best, and how you can try it too.

These hooks have changed my crochet game forever. My stitches are cleaner, crocheting is easier and now I am much much FASTER!
You don’t realize how difficult it is to crochet with a hook until you know how easy it is to crochet with a Clover Amour hook.
It’s like you’ve been walking around in crocks with the strap up then you pop them in 4 wheel drive for the first time and now feel invincible..
That’s the best way I can explain it.
Clover Amour baby, it’s the only way to go!
What’s your favorite crochet hook brand?

She picked out this pretty beige backpack from @target and asked if I would put a leopard print bow on it for her 🐆🎀
I headed straight to @etsy and found the perfect PDF from Digital Uploads Shop.
I printed it on Printable Heat Transfer Vinyl (linked in my Amazon storefront under “Maker Essentials”), cut it with my Cricut, and carefully ironed it on.

The update is… I hate it.
It’s ugly. I will not be finishing it.
What I will be doing however is donating all the scrap yarn to my daughters STEM teacher next year and saving the clear vinyl for future fun sewing projects :)
Sorry to disappoint but I just didn’t have it in me to finish a project I felt was turning out so ugly.

Every year, they post an April Fools joke teasing a new product they don’t typically intend to release. This year, it was a crochet cover for the Nugget couch and their Chunk ottoman.
I had the pleasure of designing and crocheting it for them, and Ava got to have her modeling debut—she felt like a superstar working with such a well-known brand!
Honestly, this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had collaborating with a brand. They stayed in touch with me throughout the entire process, answered any questions I had quickly, and even helped stage our living room to get the best shots.
There are some wonderful people over there, and I have nothing but great things to say about them.
All in all, this was such a fun project! It was definitely hard to keep it a secret from you all, though—I hope you love the final look and got a kick out of their April Fools prank.
A lot of people have been messaging me about the pattern. I talked with Nugget about it, but we decided to shelf it for now so I could focus on getting their content ready on time. We might revisit the idea later, though!
Truthfully, I don’t think the Nugget cover would be worth releasing—that thing was an absolute beast to make! But the Chunk? Oh, she’s golden. It only takes about two days and 4–5 skeins of Bernat Blanket Yarn to whip up, and it’s made with the Bobble stitch. You all know how much I love me some bobbles.
I promise to update you if we decide to do anything with the pattern!

This has been the most requested gift pocket design since the pattern blew up back at Easter time. Your wish is my command.
Gift pockets are perfect for holding small gifts like cash, gift cards, lipstick, essential oils, small toys, and pretty much any thing else thats about 2-3” tall.
If you’ve ever made the chick egg gift pocket, the Cardinal Gift Pocket will feel like a breeze, they’re very similar.
Here are a few Cardinal facts to get you pumped for the pattern
❤️ Cardinals are the state bird of Kentucky
❤️ Only the boys are red
❤️ The mascot for University of Louisville is a cardinal
❤️ Some people believe when you see a cardinal it’s representative of a loved one who has passed

I think I’m getting close to the final design though! I want it to be as simple and quick as possible…. But it still has to look good! 🍓
Ive got a few more tweaks in my mind that I’ll probably try before releasing… hopefully what we’re left with is a killer strawberry plant holder crochet pattern! 🍓🪴
How many do you think I’ll end up making before the design is finished?

Crafty Loop Earrings aren’t just stylish… they’re functional too! Their 100% cotton rope fringe absorbs essential oils like a dream, making them perfect for adding a touch of your favorite scent.
I personally love using bug-repelling oils to keep those pesky mosquitoes at bay during summer!
To make marketing even easier, I’ve created free product tags to help you showcase your diffuser earrings at markets and in packaging your online sales.
Each tag includes a list of essential oil blends for everything from stress relief to boosting energy (and yes, even sleep… because hey, who am I to question someone’s diffuser earring dreams? 😂).
Head to my blog to grab your free crochet pattern and product tags! acraftyconcept.com/diffuser-earrings
Hope your customers love this fun feature as much as I do! Happy crocheting! 🧶

Before I recorded this video I was pretty set on the finished design, but now that im looking at it I think the dark pink tippy is better. So it’s back to the drawing board.
Hopefully one more adjustment will give me the finished shape I’m looking for!

I designed and created a crochet cover for their Nugget couch and their Chunk ottoman.
It was their April fools joke this year, pretending they’re going to start offering crocheted covers for their products.
I wrote up a quick blog post sharing a behind the scenes look at the process we went through to bring this fun idea to life. You can read the full post over on my blog.
It really was such a pleasant experience and one of the biggest projects i’ve worked on with another company! I hope you like reading about what it took to make it and seeing a peek behind the curtain.

I recently tried my hand at making paper mache clay and had a little left over. I wanted to see if I could make a trinket tray with it.
Originally I was going to shape it around a bowl that but failed real quick. I decided to make it from scratch, pinch pot style.
After I got it in the shape I wanted I painted a thin layer of mod podge just for good measure.
This thing took DAYS to dry. If I could have set it out in the sun it would have been faster but it’s been super rainy here so no sun for me.
After it fully dried, the finished product is pretty good! It feels strong and solid but not heavy.
I’m going to attempt to sand it a little to see if I can smooth out some of the bumps, then paint it! I’m not sure what design I’m going to go with yet but I’m open to suggestions!
Let me know in the comments how I should paint it!

I found flowering yarrow last year but all of them were burnt to a black crisp :( Thankfully I was able to harvest some this year before they all died!
Yarrow is my favorite medicinal plant, I love all the skin healing properties. After all these cuties fully dry out I will be using them to make healing salve and body butter for my family :)

I went down a hook size to crochet around the opening to give it a nice clean look.
I think magnetic snaps would work well for the closer, or maybe a zipper if I’m ever feeling adventurous. You could even go with a simple button strap closure… so many options.

I’ve seen book sleeves trending in the sewing world, so why not crochet one?
I’m not a big reader myself… but I can see how a book sleeve could be handy, especially if you are putting your book inside of a bag or backpack.
To join my granny squares I am using the Join As You Go method. I tried a few other techniques first but JAYG has my heart. It’s quicker and there are fewer tails to sew in!
Pro tip for joining granny squares… put a stitch marker in the corners. If I don’t do this I get off count every. time. 🙄

🐸 These reusable gift pockets make a great alternative to the traditional plastic Easter eggs. Those little Easter eggs inevitably crack or half of it gets lost. It drives me nuts when I only have a half of a plastic Easter egg!
🐮 They’re a great stash buster! These little gift pockets don’t take up much yarn so you can use your stock pile of yarn scraps to create these little babies. They also work up quick making them great for Easter market prep!
The Refillable Easter Egg also has some cute pattern partners with the cow, chick, frog, mushroom and cactus gift pockets. These Reusable Gift Pockets bring so much spring time energy that they’re perfect for this time of year!

If you love my free crochet Easter egg pattern I have a fun idea to share!
You can decorate them with puff paint!
This a fun twist on traditional egg decorating, but this time the kids will get to keep them! Once the puff paint is on there it’s very difficult for it to come off.
You could even sell crochet Easter egg decorating kits and include a couple white eggs with a few small bottles of puff paint in different colors! I but people would eat those up!
ORRR if you have a spring market coming up you could set up an egg decorating station and kids could decorate their crocheted eggs there!
So many fun ways to use these little crochet easter eggs. You can find the free pattern on my blog or the ad free PDF in my shop!

Have you ever tried felt eyes on your amigurumi?
How cute do they look on this spring themed crocheted bunny?!
If you are selling finished pieces, anything you can do to speed up the process is going to equal more dollars in your pocket!
These have worked great for me in the past. I’ve also used safety eyes and my FAVORITE … puff paint eyes.
What’s your go to eye method for your amigurumi ?
🐰 Crochet bunny is the Ava Bunny

Who says Easter eggs have to look like Easter eggs?
A refillable cow Easter egg is way more fun!
No to mention, kids love cows!
Idk if it’s built into our DNA or what but every kid I’ve ever known has a biological urge to alert everyone in the vehicle when driving down the road and a cow is seen. It’s just human nature!
You can find this free crochet pattern, as well as lots of other designs for refillable Easter eggs on my blog.

One of the things I want to do in 2025 is make my way through my WIP basket!
I have a whole bunch of these terracotta sunflower granny squares and I thought I’d try my hand at a little sweater.
I’ve never made one of these before. I didn’t take any measurements. I have no idea how this is going to turn out. Totally winging it.
Hopefully it’s cute though :)
I’m thinking a cropped sweater with ribbing around the bottom and around the sleeves. I MIGHT get funky and make the sleeves flare out … 90’s style… but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there 😅
The granny square pattern is from my Daisy backpack crochet pattern that’s free on my blog 🌼 🧶

Other than that I LOVE crocheting granny squares!
They work up quickly. Use little yarn. They’re simple so i don’t have to think while I’m making them. And they’re great for crochet on the go! Plus you can make lots of different things with them!
If it wasn’t for those dang tails!

I can’t believe Easter is on April 20th this year! That seems so late!
Good news is now we have more time to make and market crochet Easter gifts! These refillable Easter eggs are perfect.
How cute is the little chick hatchling?!
You can find these patterns and a couple more designs like the mushroom, cactus, frog, and cow, all on my blog for free! Each of those would be so cute as refillable Easter eggs!
Which one is your favorite?

I may be over a month late getting it out but the free 2025 Content Calendar is officially live!!
To make up for the lost time I moved the January and February sections to the back and used 2026 dates!
This year’s content calendar is my favorite so far! We added dated planner pages so now you can do your planning and organizing all in one place!
I can’t wait till you see it. If you’re on my email list your 2025 Content Calendar is already waiting for you in your inbox.
If you’re not on my email list you can sign up through the link in my bio and the calendar will be sent to you automatically!
The printed version isn’t available yet but as soon as it is I’ll be sure to share.
Thank you for being patient with me. Sorry it took a little longer this year.
Happy planning!
