6 Tips For Selling Your Knit And Crochet Items

Know The Law

While it might be fine to use that free pattern you found on Pinterest for that hat you crocheted for your niece, you probably can’t use it to make a hat and sell it for profits. Usually, the owner of the pattern will have some sort of usage policy – free for personal use, not for commercial use, etc. Sometimes they do allow for commercial use as long as you give them credit somehow. Keep in mind that selling your craft items may mean reporting your income for tax purposes, depending on how much you’re making per year. Make sure you know the law so you don’t get blindsided later!
