Things You Can Crochet in Less Than One Hour

Before I started my craft fairs and markets, I didn’t really give any thought to how long things would take me to crochet. I just made what I wanted and let it take as long as it took. But as soon as I started having to price things, I quickly realised that those things that took me a few days to make were not good things to try to sell at a craft fair. You might get lucky and find someone who really values your work and is willing to pay you fairly for it but unfortunately most people who don’t crochet don’t realise how long things can take.

My time is very precious at the moment, with two young children to look after, another on the way, aswell as a house and a husband to look after. I had to build my craft fair inventory with things that I could make in less than one hour to make sure I could actually sustain my business and be paid fairly for my time. I spent a while looking through my patterns and trying to come up with quicker ways to make things, and wrote a few new patterns perfect for selling at craft fairs and markets and I wanted to share my findings. All of the projects below take me less than one hour to make so are perfect for selling or for last minute gifting.

Chunky Baby Beanie (Free Crochet Pattern)

I love making this hat to be given away or sold as part of a set with the chunky baby booties. They go really nicely together as a gift for a new baby or pregnant mummy. You can find the matching chunky baby booties here.

This hat is available in first size or newborn. To make the hat, you will need a 6mm crochet hook for first size, a 6.5mm hook for newborn, up to 30g of chunky yarn, a tape measure, a pair of scissors and a yarn needle. If you want to add a pom pom, you will also need a pom pom maker.

The finished first size hat has a diameter of 4″ and is 5.25″ high. The finished newborn hat has a diameter of 4.25″ and is 5.5″ high. Please note that I tend to crochet quite tightly, so you may need to use a different sized hook to achieve these measurements. Measure the diameter at the end of row 3 to check your gauge.

Twisted Headband Earwarmer (Free Crochet Pattern)
