C2C SOUTHWESTERN THROW BLANKET

Do you enjoy Corner to Corner (C2C) crochet? This Southwestern style throw caught our eye this week. The design is 100% perfect for the C2C technique – the blocks look great.

This design looks really challenging, but it’s so easy, you’ll be surprised! If you’ve gotten the hang of C2C crochet, and you can follow along a graph, this blanket is not going to be hard for you. The hardest part is managing the yarn, but even that wasn’t as big of a deal as I originally thought.

C2C is a crochet style which uses graphs to make patterns or designs in the crochet, arranged into small blocks. It’s often used to create very colorful or pictorial designs. Usually, you don’t get a full line by line tutorial as you might for a regular pattern because the stitch is easy and repeats for every block. But you do get a graph which shows which block should be in which color. Somethings the corner to corner blankets are called ‘graph-ghans’ because you follow the graph to make them.

SUPPLIES
Any worsted weight yarn will be great.
Hook used: Size H (5.0mm)

Finished throw size is approximately 45″ by 60″

How to Make Money Crocheting

How to Make Money Crocheting???

Crochet is not only a fun and relaxing hobby, but it is also a good way to earn some extra money. And if you stick with it, you might even be able to make a living with it one day. For me, I’m a very slow learner, but I’m happy to say that I’m finally earning enough money with crochet to support myself. Mind you, I lead a very plain and simple life at the moment, but I do have big dreams for the future. And crochet can make those dreams come true.

The good news is that starting a crochet business doesn’t have to cost you anything to get started. Depending on how you want to make the money, you might already have everything you need to get started.

Here are the ways that you can make money with crochet. Hope you find one that works for you.

Sell Patterns – If being creative and designing new patterns interests you, then selling your patterns is one of the quickest ways to earn money with crochet. The internet has made it very easy to publish crochet patterns in downloadable pdf files. These files can be attached to automatic emails or placed at a special url to give buyers immediate access once payment has been made.

The beauty of selling crochet patterns is that you do the work once and get paid over and over again. At the same time, it’s much easier said than done. You still need to market the pattern in order for it to continue to sell. The minute you stop marketing, is the minute your earnings will begin to decrease.

Free Patterns and Sell Advertisements – Another great way to make money with your crochet patterns is to offer them up for free and then make your money by selling advertising space. And it’s not hard to get advertisers. Google Adsense, Chitika, Info Links and many other advertising companies have advertisers willing to buy your space. It takes a long time to get enough traffic though to make this type of advertising worth your while.

Crafts Shows – Craft shows are another option. If this is what you’re planning on doing, then you will need to crochet up a nice inventory as you don’t want to run out of items. That means you will have a small start-up cost. Here is an article on how to succeed at craft shows.

Design for Magazines – You could always try your hand at designing for crochet magazines. I’m not sure what they pay, but it’s got to be somewhat better than when you first start your own blog. If you worked at it simultaneously, then you could submit to magazines until you make enough with your own blog. At the same time, magazines are a great way to get your name out there as most them usually have a wide circulation.

Be a Pattern Tester – Many designers will pay to have their patterns tested. This is awesome if you love to just sit back and crochet and not have to worry about the design or anything. All you do is keep your eyes open for problem areas and report them back to the designer. The pay can actually be quite lucrative if you can get in with someone who pays well.

Sell Finished Items Online – Another great way to make money with crochet is to sell finished items online. There are many sites like Ebay and Etsy that will allow you to list your finished crocheted items for a small fee. When the item sells, you simply ship it and wait for the customer to give you a good review. The only downfall of this is that you have to crochet fast in order to make decent money. I tried going down this road and found that I was losing money on the shipping and wasn’t making much profit at all. At the same time, I see many crocheters who are doing quite well with their shops.

Brick and Mortar Store – You will need to have start-up funds if you’re planning on going down this path. This is also very risky as you could end up losing it all if your business doesn’t pick up. Establishing an online presence, doing craft shows and then opening up a brick and mortar shop might be the best way to go. That way you can use the other two to kind of hold you up when things don’t do so well in your shop.

Things to sell in your shop include yarn, pattern books, crochet hooks and other crochet supplies. You can also sell your finished items as well as allow other crocheters to bring in their items and you would then keep a small percentage of the profit.

The good thing about owning your own brick and mortar shop is that you can purchase your yarn at wholesale prices. Gosh who wouldn’t love that?

Teach Crochet Classes – Another great way to earn money with crochet is to teach a crochet class. You can teach from your own home, or at a craft store like Michaels. You can do individual lessons or group lessons to make an even greater return for your time.
