Where to sell crochet and amigurumi online
Crochet is the craft most people pick when they start selling online: amigurumi, rugs, bags, and baby clothes sell both made-to-order and ready-to-ship. This guide shows where to sell crochet today, what sells best online, how to price a piece, and how to list without a monthly fee.
Where to sell crochet today: the paths
- Marketplace with an audience: you list the piece and the platform brings people already searching for "amigurumi", "crochet rug", or "baby clothes". Cost is a commission; payment is held until delivery.
- Instagram and WhatsApp: they work for anyone who already has followers, but every sale depends on a chat, with no search and no payment protection — new customers cannot find you.
- Fairs, bazaars, and local orders: still worth it for large pieces and end-of-year volume; the online storefront covers the rest of the year.
- Your own store: only pays off once an audience exists to pay for the traffic. Before that, it is a monthly fee without sales.
What sells best in crochet online
Small, customizable, easy-to-ship pieces are what move: character or animal amigurumi, keychains, baby hats and booties, pet bandanas, bathroom sets, and round rugs. Large pieces sell too, but they need good photos, a clear lead time, and calculated shipping.
| Piece | Sales model | What to state in the listing |
|---|---|---|
| Amigurumi (character, animal, doll) | Made to order with lead time; ready-to-ship for the most-requested models | Height in cm, yarn type, whether it has small parts (child safety), lead time |
| Baby clothes and booties | Ready to ship by size | Size (newborn, 0-3, 3-6 months), hypoallergenic yarn, available colors |
| Rugs, bathroom sets, and table centerpieces | Made to order by size and color | Dimensions, t-shirt yarn or twine, weight for shipping |
| Bags, pouches, and tote bags | Ready to ship or made to order with a choice of color | Dimensions, lining, strap, capacity |
| Pet accessories (bandana, sweater) | Ready to ship by size | Size chart by neck and chest |
How much to charge for a crochet piece
- Materials: yarn, stuffing, safety eyes, packaging — add up everything that goes into the piece.
- Time: hours of work times your hourly rate. A six-hour piece cannot cost the price of the yarn.
- Shipping and commission go into the math before you list: calculate the final price with both, not afterwards.
- Personalization (name, color, size) is an add-on, not a courtesy — say so in the listing.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I sell crochet online?
On marketplaces with a buying audience, like DFG, where listing is free and the commission is only charged on the sale; on social media, if you already have followers; or in your own store, once an audience exists to pay for the traffic. To start, the marketplace is the path with the lowest fixed cost.
Is selling amigurumi online worth it?
Yes: amigurumi is the most-searched crochet piece online, sells made to order (character, color, size), and ships well. The thing to watch is the price — a piece takes hours, and the price has to cover the time, not just the yarn.
How much should I charge for a crochet piece?
Add up the materials, multiply the hours of work by your hourly rate, and include shipping and commission before listing. Personalization is an add-on. Compare with similar listings, but do not copy the price of someone who did not count their own time.
Do I need a company registration to sell crochet online?
On DFG, seller sign-up accepts an individual taxpayer ID; a company registration is optional. Formalizing helps with invoices and wholesale yarn, but it is not a requirement to start selling.
