How to make money from knitting and create a business at home: myths and reality

Hi all! Probably, when you saw the title, you decided that this article was intended for grandmothers, because we associate them with a ball of thread and knitting needles. But don’t rush to leave my page, because this is absolutely not true. Recently, there has been a demand for handmade products, and many progressive girls already know how to make money by knitting at home.

Honestly, the last time I held knitting needles in my hands was during labor lessons at school. I really didn't like this tedious task. The stitches kept falling off the needles, and I didn't have the dexterity to catch them and hook them up. Often it was necessary to bandage the same place several times. The product turned out to be short because I did not know how to control the thread tension. In some places the canvas was looser, in others it was too dense. And in general, I always thought that they knit from threads. And only recently I found out that the correct name is yarn.

Later I learned that knitting is not only done with knitting needles. It turns out that there are other devices for this:

1. Crochet hook. It is much more convenient to knit with them, because, as a rule, only the last loop of the row is on the hook, and even if it slips, you can easily pick it back up without having to re-knit half of the product.
2. Knitting machine. This is not some huge industrial unit, but a completely compact thing that will fit on your desk or windowsill at home.
3. Your hands - they can also become a tool for knitting. Maybe you've seen cardigans on the Internet made from yarn as thick as your thumb? So, they are wound around the hands, like on knitting needles, and the loops are knitted, threading the thread with the fingers.

General information about home business

Handmade goods are becoming increasingly popular. There are two reasons for this:

• Such products are unique.
• They are made from quality materials.

Uniqueness is the determining factor here. Stores and factories churn out hundreds of identical products for sale. The master cannot afford this; he has to come up with something new and interesting every time and maintain sales volume with a variety of goods.

People are willing to overpay money if they know that their neighbors, friends or acquaintances will not have such a thing.

Quality materials are also an important factor. Craftsmen who sell their goods value their clients. There are not so many of the latter that they can be wasted senselessly. Therefore, high-quality materials are used, and the work is done with passion.

But despite the popularity of home business, it is still difficult to implement. Unlike a standard job, where you will be paid even for the time you eat lunch or spend time on social networks, in a home business you get paid exclusively for your work.

This approach leads to responsibility for every decision. For most this is difficult. It’s better to work the old fashioned way, but consistently.

From all this we can draw one simple conclusion:

Home business is profitable, interesting and challenging. Turning your hobby into a source of income is a dream for many people, but only a few will be able to achieve it.

A little bit about yourself

Hello, dear readers! My name is Demidova Anastasia Grigorievna, I am 57 years old, I live in Kursk.

Perhaps I’ll start my story with a short story about my life. I have worked as a geography teacher at school all my life. My profession is not easy, children have always been very difficult, in general, it has always been hard. In the 90s, wages were simply meager; you had to survive as best you could. Fortunately, my husband and I lived in a private house, near which there was a small plot of land where we grew all the essentials: potatoes, cabbage, carrots, onions. In general, there was no need to run to the store again.

There was never any extra money in the family. My husband tried very hard, went to work part-time, but you can’t jump over yourself - he barely earned more than me.

What if I succeed?

I wanted to find a niche where I could earn some money, even if only to pay for utilities. I didn’t want to do tutoring, because I was very tired of children at school, and I also have students at home, and where can I get so many people interested in my subject? This is not the Russian language or mathematics, where teachers can easily find “clients” for extracurricular activities. In general, thoughts about looking for a part-time job did not leave me alone.

So, while on another vacation, I sat in front of the TV and knitted a scarf for my daughter. Loop by loop, thread by thread, the pattern came together, and an idea appeared in my head: why not try to do the same thing, but only for sale?

Why not try knitting for sale?

Perhaps it would not be so fast, and how much you can earn by selling knitted accessories, but you always need to start with something. After consulting with my husband on this topic and receiving support and approval from him, I decided that it was still worth a try. Who knows, what if my idea will be crowned with success and I will be able to earn money from home.

Is it possible to earn money by knitting?

“Learn to make money from your hobby and you won’t have to work a single day” is a very interesting idea that is relevant for home business. If you like to knit, you can earn good money from it.

Knitting is hard manual labor. To achieve good income figures, you will have to work hard at the beginning.

You can really make money by knitting or crocheting. This is due to the fact that many foreign fashion houses have long been introducing knitted items into the modern wardrobe. They are comfortable, look aesthetically pleasing and will be relevant in any weather.

In order to start developing in knitting, you need to choose your niche. There are three options.

Knitting to order. This is the standard and most popular practice. You talk about what you know how to knit, what you specialize in, and the client places an order. If the client likes the finished result, he pays money. If you don't like it, you keep the product.

The main difficulty here is the discrepancy in tastes. Your vision and taste may differ from the customer, so sometimes you will have to prove that your option is better, and sometimes you will simply have to redo it and waste time.

Custom work should not be your only source of income.

Sale of finished products. This is a full-fledged sales business. You choose a product that you will specialize in, knit it and put it up for sale. [Sale price] - [all costs of the product] = [your profit]. Everything here is simple and clear.

You work with what you like and create what you think is necessary. But the minus is also obvious - demand. They may buy your work or not.

Master classes, clubs, lessons. This is a very promising niche. Many people are looking for their hobby, and in order to learn something from a professional, they have to pay. If you know how to knit well, you can be a teacher. Lessons can be taught either at home or in rented premises, or remotely via Skype.

The cost of one lesson depends on the region. In large cities, the cost of an hour for a master will cost from 700 to 1.5 thousand rubles. In the regions - 500-700.

All three options can be done at home. It’s not at all necessary to rent a space, create your own store and spend extra money.

What's in demand

Now a few words about what knitted goods are in demand. In fact, everything here is banal:

• Home textiles - napkins, tablecloths, etc.
• Clothes for women.
• Children's clothing.
• Interior decorations - toys, keychains, accessories.

I'll say a few words about clothes. Despite the fact that knitted items are really popular, we are very far from Western markets. If you want to specialize in selling clothes that you knitted yourself, you will have to enter the European market.

The easiest way to do this is with the help of Ebay - a huge trading platform, an analogue of our Avito. The main target audience here is English speaking. Americans and Europeans greatly value any handmade goods.

Pros and cons of the knitting business

In any business there are both advantages and pitfalls that can overshadow the joy of the creative process. Here are the pros and cons you will encounter when choosing a knitting business:

Pros:

• Minimal or no costs for starting a business;
• There is no need to rent premises for work;
• Knitting can be combined with your main job or study, turning this business into an additional source of income;
• You don't need to be an economist or an experienced businessman to run a business;
• The popularity of handmade products will not allow you to stand idle for a long time without profit.

Minuses:

• There is a possibility that the business will be unprofitable;
• Low productivity due to manual labor of one person at home;
• Great competition in the “hand made” market;
• To succeed in this business, you need to constantly develop, accumulate experience and knowledge, and attend paid master classes;
• There is a risk that the client will refuse to purchase the ordered item or will not pay for the item upon receipt by mail.

These are just the main advantages and disadvantages of running a knitting business, but based on them you can decide whether this business is right for you or not.

How to sell knitted goods

Your task is not to knit a huge number of things, but to sell them. There are three big sales channels:

• Real stores.
• Social media.
• Bulletin boards and similar sites.

Real stores

Start knitting at home, sell a few products, then open your own small store - a classic scheme for developing a home business. But beginners often get burned out on this. Without comparing expenses with their income, they rent large premises and expensive equipment, and then it turns out that the business is operating at a loss.

Rent premises only when you are really sure that you will make a profit. Income must cover all expenses and at the same time contribute to business development. A good option would be a small room away from the city center.

Social network

Social networks are an actively developing sales channel. We will consider this point using Vkontakte as an example, since it is best suited for selling goods to a Russian-speaking audience. We will need:

1. VKontakte account with 50 - 100 friends (more is possible, less is not).
2. Group.
3. Product.

The first thing you need to do is write on your wall what you plan to do. It's simple. It’s enough to write a post in the key “I decided to start a home business. What brought me here. What do I want to do? What am I selling? The post should be catchy, consist of several parts and tell in detail about your knitting business.

Then you create a group and duplicate your own post into it. This is done so that you are recognized. Then you upload product photos into the “Products” field, set prices and start filling the group with content. Most often, these will be your posts in the format “For sale... Price... Size... Materials.”

To initially gather a certain number of people in a group, ask your friends to join and repost.

After that, keep active in the group, communicate, talk and sell.

Notice boards

This is the easiest and most banal sales option. Instead of bothering with a real store and social networks, just use the services of free advertisements.

The most popular message board is Avito. For handmade goods, it is still worth using the Crafts Fair.

You simply advertise your own handmade goods for sale and wait for customers to call. Nothing complicated. The more clients you have, the easier sales will be in the future.

How your favorite business became profitable

First of all, I decided to try to see if I could at least sell something. So, taking advantage of the free time on vacation, I put on several pairs of socks, scarves and mittens and went to trade at our market.

The prices for handmade work were very reasonable compared to other sellers, and literally in half a day I was sold out of all the goods.

I thought that there was no point in looking for clients through posting ads, because if everything was for sale anyway, then why bother inventing an extra headache for yourself. In order not to waste time, I immediately got to work: I knitted a whole bunch of socks (booties, footwear, classic winter socks), hats, scarves, sets, mittens. It took me half of my vacation, but I really liked and still enjoy knitting, so I didn’t feel any fatigue.

When I went back to work, I could no longer devote so much time to what I loved, but every weekend, strictly Saturday, I devoted to knitting, and Sunday to trading.

Expansion of the range

The sale of accessories was very brisk for the reason that it was just the right time for this - winter. People literally snatched up my things, there were also buyers who gave me individual orders for knitting collars, sets and even sweaters!

Success stories

Here I will give some real stories about how people started making money from knitting. There are very few similar stories in Russia, so I will cite foreign ones.

Heidi May is the most famous private needlewoman. Lives in America, conducts business through his store and on the Internet. She specializes in children's knitted hats. Children's hats with ears brought her great popularity. Sold $300,000 worth of goods in 4 years of work.

Dudush is a Turkish needlewoman. She creates cool knitted laptop sleeves. A little more than 160 orders are issued per year, which gives about $5,000 in profit per month.

Yoko Gibran is an American needlewoman who makes knitted scarves and hats. Sells goods online and in a store in his hometown. For 3 years of work, earnings amounted to about 140 thousand dollars.

How to open a knitting business

If you don’t know where to start a business, carefully study all the information necessary for this on the Internet, and consult with familiar entrepreneurs. To turn your hobby into a source of permanent income, you need to follow these steps:

1. Analyze competitors, study demand;
2. Decide in which niche you will develop;
3. Buy the necessary equipment and materials;
4. Complete training if necessary;
5. Link several products for an assortment;
6. Register an individual entrepreneur or become self-employed in order to legalize income;
7. Create accounts on various platforms;
8. Develop a marketing strategy and launch targeted advertising on social networks.

This is the minimum of what needs to be done to implement the knitting business.

How to calculate the cost and set the price for knitted products

As in any business, earnings from knitting can be minimal, covering expenses and slightly reimbursing the master’s time spent, or reach large sums of several hundred thousand rubles per month.

To determine the cost of a product and set its price, you can use several methods for calculation.

You can determine the price depending on the complexity of knitting or taking into account the cost of yarn, the average market price of similar products and the time spent on production. Almost all beginning craftsmen set a price for their work that they have spotted from their competitors, sometimes reducing it slightly to interest potential buyers.

There is also a formula by which professional handicraftsmen calculate the cost of work:

You, as a manufacturer, have the right to independently set prices for your own goods. The main thing in this matter is not to devalue the work by indicating a price tag that is too low, but also not to inflate it, in which case the product will not find a buyer soon or will not find one at all.

Consider the average salary in your region when determining the cost of the job.

How to register an individual entrepreneur

To protect yourself from the legal and financial side, it is better to open an individual entrepreneur. Entrepreneurial activities in the Russian Federation are registered by the tax inspectorate.

The fastest way to register an individual as an individual entrepreneur is through a personal account on the State Services website. This is the best option if you already have a personal account on the website.

Service delivery time: 3 working days. Cost: 800 rubles.

How to get the service:

• Fill out an electronic application for state registration of an individual as an individual entrepreneur.
• Pay the state fee.
• Send the completed application to the tax authority and wait for the results of its consideration (you will receive an invitation to visit the registration authority in your “Personal Account”).
• Take the documents.

The government services portal is the best assistant in registering any business

The second option for registering as an individual entrepreneur is to submit documents in person. Since 2020, registration of individual entrepreneurs from tax authorities has been transferred to multifunctional centers. If there is no MFC in the city, the application is submitted to the tax office (necessarily at the place of registration).

Before visiting the center (or the Federal Tax Service), you need to prepare documents and decide on the following points:

• Select the main and additional types of activity according to OKVED-2 (All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activities, entered into force on July 11, 2020).
• Determine the taxation system. The best option here is a simplified taxation system (USN 6%), when an individual entrepreneur pays six percent of the entire gross profit.
• Pay the state fee (800 rubles).
• Collect a complete package of documents. Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation (with copies of all pages); a copy of the certificate with the individual’s TIN number (if any); receipt of payment of state duty for registration of individual entrepreneurs; application for registration of a citizen as an individual entrepreneur in form P21001; application for application of the simplified tax system according to form No. 26.2–1.
• Submit the completed package of documents.
• In 5 days you will receive the finished documents.

For knitting clothing, the main code will be OKVED 14.13.1 (Production of outer knitted or crocheted clothing). You also need to select several additional individual entrepreneur activity codes. For example, OKVED 14.14.1 (Production of knitted and knitted underwear); OKVED code 14.19.5 (Sewing and knitting of other clothing and clothing accessories, hats for individual orders of the population), etc. A separate code is required for the sale of knitted products. OKVED 47.51 (Retail trade in textile products in specialized stores) is suitable here.

Don’t get carried away by the number of OKVED codes, select 10–15 codes. After opening an individual entrepreneur, you can always add new types of activities to the list or discard unnecessary codes. To do this, just write an application to the tax office.

When paying the state fee, be careful about the details and purpose of payment. It is impossible to get a refund for an incorrectly paid fee.

A receipt with details must be taken from the website of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation. When applying through the MFC, in the purpose of payment, you must select the wording “State registration of a sole proprietor as an individual entrepreneur.”

If you plan to go to the tax office to submit documents, then the wording should be “State fee for registering a sole proprietor as an individual entrepreneur.”

If you live in another city, you can register by sending a package of documents by registered mail with a description of the contents. But it is better to visit the inspection in person; employees may have questions and clarifications regarding the package of documents.

Table: what factors to consider when drawing up a business plan

What's the result?

For me, knitting was a hobby, and earning money from it was more of a pleasant side effect. Over the entire period I sold 20 bags. I bought yarn that was inexpensive, but soft and beautiful - 150 rubles per skein, it was enough for one product, and there was still some left over. Sold for 300 rubles apiece. For those with embroidery or stripes, I charged 500-600 rubles. If you subtract the costs of yarn, my net profit is about 3 thousand rubles. "Few!" - you say, and I agree, only people usually spend money on hobbies, but I managed to monetize it.

Costs are minimal

Socks are also beneficial because they can actually be a waste-free production. The yarn purchased by the knitter will be completely used up .

ADVICE! The remains can be used to create a special pair - variegated, melange. She will look no less attractive.

Knitting is also convenient because the consumable material (yarn) is practically impossible to spoil. The needlewoman simply undoes the fabric she doesn’t like and ties it again.

A couple of practical tips

For those who are just thinking about doing something like this, I can give a couple of practical tips:

1. If you are sure that you knit at a decent level, you can safely start taking action.
2. Know how to organize time for work, otherwise you won't succeed.
3. Know how to communicate and negotiate with people - this is the key to successful trading.
4. Don't skimp on threads. Remember: a low-quality item is a guarantee that no one will contact you again.

In general, knitting is possible and even necessary for everyone who wants it, who loves it and cannot live without it.

You will never be able to simply make money from something you don’t know how to do or don’t like. Therefore, give all your love to your occupation, and then you will definitely succeed.

How to make money from a hobby

Daria Pakshtaeva, PR manager of the brand of knitted socks, shared Knit Need’s plans for the future and talked about the difficulty of finding contacts of bloggers and media to promote the business.

Where does Knit Need come from?

My mother always knitted things for our whole family. And at some point I wanted to make her dream come true - to create a small brand of handmade knitted items. Everyone around claimed that this project would fail and would not bring any profit. But I was interested in trying something new and from my own experience considering the development of a startup from all sides.

At what point did you manage to define the concept and motto “Everyone needs socks from their mother”?

Even before the launch of the project, we decided that our motto would be “Everyone needs socks from their mother.” After all, in cold Moscow, where it rains, winds and greyness most of the year, everyone misses the warmth. Of course, you can always buy wool socks at a mall or store, but we wanted to create unique items from natural yarn. And every pair of our socks is knitted with love, as evidenced by small red hearts on the heels.

Isn't the niche too narrow - only knitted socks? Are you planning to expand your range in spring/summer?

Initially, we planned to make other knitted items (hats, sweaters, mittens) in addition to socks to order. But when orders began to appear, mom stopped even coping with socks. Therefore, we have postponed the idea of ​​expanding the range for now. After all, it takes at least 8 hours of continuous work to create one pair of socks. However, in January, when the wave of orders for New Year's gifts subsides, we will definitely move on to other things. And in the summer we plan to start creating knitted soft toys.

How long has Knit Need been around?

Knit Need is a very young project. We launched on September 22, 2016.

Average cost of a pair of socks

We have three types of socks: high, low and children's. Their average cost: 1100, 900 and 600 rubles, respectively. How many orders have been accepted since the start of operations and how many have already been sent to customers?

During our existence, we have already accepted about 60 orders, of which 35 have been shipped to date.

How much knitting experience should you have to be able to knit a pair of socks in a working day?

Learning to knit is not as difficult as it might seem. However, in order to do this efficiently and quickly, you need experience and desire. Knitting is primarily a hobby, not a business. Therefore, this process should bring pleasure and joy. For example, my mother has been knitting for over 25 years, and she still doesn’t get tired of it, but on the contrary, she constantly wants to try something new and unusual.

What promotion channels do you use besides Instagram? Are you planning to use something other than it in the future?

In addition to Instagram, we attract bloggers (we give them socks), negotiate with publications for mentions (in December, Glamor magazine will publish a selection of New Year's gifts, which will include Knit Need), and act as partners at an event - the Ocean Medi Cup sailing regatta was recently held in Greece , where we gave our socks to the best participants. We plan to launch our website next year.

How do you manage to find bloggers and media representatives?

I worked at a PR agency, where I was able to establish contact with journalists. And now on the Ocean TV channel, which is the organizer of the regatta. But I can say for sure that with the help of Facebook and specialized groups (Press Secretaries and PR people of Russia, PR_Russia and others) you can also make friends with the right people.

Do you use any devices that make the work of a knitter easier - manual/computer knitting machines or something else?

We create everything by hand, without using mechanical devices. After all, our concept is precisely that the socks are 100% natural and unique. We also use craft packaging, focusing on environmental friendliness.

Choice of two options: handmade, a limited number of possible orders and, accordingly, lower profits, a long time to knit one pair and an increase in volume due to an increase in the number of craftswomen, or the actual loss of the status of handmade items (although buyers may not know about this) , full/partial automation of work, increasing the number of orders possible to complete and increasing profits - which way is closer? Is there a possibility that the business will “get on stream” due to production automation in the future?

We are closer to the path of handmade work with a limited number of orders in favor of quality. However, we tried to slightly solve the problem with a large flow of orders by attracting an additional specialist. She is also interested in the development of our project and creates things at a decent level.

How to earn 1000-2000 rubles by knitting socks. in a day.

We always have a choice: either sell our work and time for pennies, or receive a decent reward for our creativity.
Without any “who will buy for that kind of money?”, “this is unrealistic, people have a salary of 10 thousand, there is no time for shopping”, “oh well, these are all fairy tales” - while we rotate in this coordinate system, we really have no one won't buy anything. And there will be no people who can pay well for our work. It all starts with our thoughts. Either we sow the seeds of poverty in them, nurture them, water them and actively grow them, at every corner, finding confirmation for them, and then we get stuck and drown in these thickets, or we destroy thought-viruses in the bud. We just decide once and for all for ourselves that handmade socks “worth hundreds of rubles” are left in another world. In our world they cost from 1000 rubles and above. And there are always buyers for them .

Knitting socks is not at all difficult, as it may seem at first. It’s more difficult to restructure your thoughts, because to say: “we’ll decide once and for all” is difficult, but possible, and where can you find the strength to make a quantum transition in evaluating your work? What to grab onto? Not for the examples of those who cannot find buyers for socks even for 200 rubles. And for the examples of those who have been successfully selling their socks for 1000-2500 rubles for a long time and, judging by the number of reviews. There are many such examples. Here are just some screenshots from the well-known Masters Fair:

Anyone who knows how to knit socks well can knit them in one working day. Who knits slower - in 2 days.

Many of us have been hypnotized by penny socks for too long. It's time to get out of this stupor. We have the same hands, access to the same sites, yarn and knitting needles. The only difference is in the way of thinking.

There is another type of income - MASTER CLASSES. You can create an interesting model of socks, write a detailed description and have additional income:

There is no need to copy the works of masters. For yourself you can note: - good yarn; - excellent workmanship; - beautiful photos. For the rest, you need to create your own flavor. Then everything will work out. After all, it is better to sell just one pair of socks for 1000 than 10 pairs for 100 rubles.

Myth No. 4. The learning process is difficult.

As I always say, there would be a desire. If you really want to, you can fly into space. The time has long passed when you had to buy knitting textbooks and magazines. You can find a huge number of training videos on the Internet, for example here. Experienced needlewomen have already created their own channels on YouTube, and give step-by-step instructions from casting the first loops to the most complex elements, describing in detail all the methods of knitting and decorating products. By subscribing to such an account, you can learn knitting from scratch.

I found an interesting website - Masters Fair: https://www.livemaster.ru/. Various master classes are collected here, and not only on knitting, but also on other types of creativity. You can look for interesting works of other users, be inspired by their ideas and take note of original schemes and solutions. There is also an interesting section - the order table. Users leave requests for one or another type of work and set a price, or they can exchange by barter, for example, a bouquet of sweets for handmade gingerbread.

Knitting toys for sale

If you decide to sell ready-made products, rather than wait for customers to appear, then first decide on trading platforms where you can display your toys. Their selection is quite large.

Currently, various virtual stores, specialized sites, sites with advertisements, and groups on social networks are a good option. The big advantage of selling online is that most sites offer you a marketplace for free. At the same time, they have good attendance.

But we shouldn’t exclude real store counters, handmade workshops, and various fairs. Here, most likely, you will first have to pay a certain amount before your toys are bought. In addition, the number of potential buyers for your product is very limited.

My hobby turned into a business

Hello. My name is Olga, I am 36 years old, I am the mother of two charming children - a daughter is 12 years old, a son is 1.3 years old. Like many mothers, I took up needlework while on maternity leave, this was 12 years ago. I learned to crochet, and since then it has been my favorite type of handicraft.

In November 2020, I became a mother for the second time. With the birth of my son, I wanted to focus on children's themes. I started collecting rodents and pacifier holders, knitting babywearing beads, toys and dolls.

Before that, I mostly knitted clothes for myself and my daughter, and very rarely took orders, i.e. knitting was my hobby, I did not consider it as a source of additional income. Before maternity leave, she worked in retail trade. I left my position as store director on maternity leave. I knit myself; I have no assistants in making the products. The daughter helps with filming and editing videos for the group. My husband helps with delivery of orders.

I believe that work should bring pleasure, only in this case it will be possible to achieve success.

How to choose a place?

A small room of 15-25 square meters is quite suitable for trading. m.

As for the location, it is important to take into account good transport accessibility and trafficability.

• You can rent space in a large shopping center with good traffic.
• A room with a separate entrance in the basement of a residential building is ideal.
• The location next to a kindergarten or school is considered good.

It is important to have a large assortment and commercial equipment

For a store to be profitable, you need a large selection.

The store should have samples of different threads.

Yarn happens:

• woolen,
• synthetic,
• mixed.

The demand for different types depends on the season.

Woolen yarn is a good seller in autumn and winter, while synthetic and blended yarn is a good seller in spring and summer.

In addition, the assortment must also include other related products:

• knitting needles and forks;
• various hooks and pins;
• needles and thimbles.

It is necessary to purchase standard commercial equipment:

• glass racks and shelves;
• electronic balance.

Scales are needed because yarn is sold not only in standard skeins, but sometimes by weight.

It is also advisable to set up a stand or showcase in the store in which you can display ready-made knitted products.

These things will serve as excellent advertising, will make you want to knit something yourself, and will stimulate sales.

To organize this exhibition, it is enough to use one rack.

What knitted items are popular

Knitting, crocheting, or using a household knitting machine gives you greater freedom to bring ideas to life.

A small list of popular knitted items :

• Knitted booties, caps, blouses, pants for babies up to one year old.
• Clothes for children over one year old.
• Simple and designer items for fashionistas.
• Clothes for men.
• Socks, mittens and gloves for people of any age and gender.
• Openwork summer boots and slippers.
• Shawls, hats, snoods, scarves, stoles.

• Home textiles: bedspreads, rugs, tablecloths, napkins, curtains, flowerpots, seat covers.
• Decorative elements: lamps, paintings, panels, interior decorations.
• Clothes for pets.
• Toys: amigurumi, Mobile and others.

In each direction there is a lot of room for imagination and experimentation. The main thing is not to forget about the interests of the potential buyer.
