Crochet or knit baby blankets, beanies, toys and home pieces, sold ready-made and to order.
- Who it suits
People who already crochet or knit for fun and want to sell, and who can live with slow, steady sales.
- Who pays
Baby shower and gift buyers, grandparents, winter beanie buyers, people decorating homes.
- What they get
A handmade, personal gift that shop-bought items cannot match.
- Is there demand?
SA stores sell handmade crochet baby blankets at R285 to R420 (Roots for Gifts), R490 (Moksi) and R725 (Kikki and Franki). A blanket can take many hours, so the hourly return is often low: price your time.
