If you know how to crochet, now is the time to get busy. You can make great money crocheting and selling Christmas gifts.

Some of the items you can make when you crochet are the usual scarves, mittens, hats but why not add some other items? You can make door socks. These are excellent for the cold winter months. You will crochet a long tube and fill a nylon stocking with rice. Seal the stocking and put the long crocheted tube around the nylon stocking. This is a perfect gift for Christmas to give family and friends. You can even call this a green gift as it helps to save heat.

You can also make adorable crocheted stockings to sell at Christmas time. You can make different styles such as Victorian Christmas stockings, small Christmas stockings for children and pets and regular size Christmas stockings for teens and adults. Use different color yarn when crocheting. Such as dark green, lime green for modern homes, red and cranberry so potential buyers have a choice of colors that will fit their Christmas décor.

You may want to crochet cute little ornaments. You could do shapes of stars, candy canes, angels, crosses, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Santa Clause, reindeers including Rudolph with a cute red nose, etc. You can also make crocheted ornaments and put a photo inside of it of the person you are giving it to for a gift. Leave some empty so you can sell them to buyers.

You can sell your crochet items at craft fairs, holiday bazaars, online and to friends and family. If you set up a website make sure you have a PayPal shopping cart area so people can easily buy items from you. You can accept major credit cards, checks or through PayPal. It is your choice which type of payment you will accept. Do not forget to charge shipping so you make money on your crocheted items.
