Hiii everyone! Happy thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it!
I’m doing my first crochet market on dec 7th so I have a few questions:
I might make these mesh oversized sweaters if I have the time but i dont know what sizes to do because the one I made for myself fit me and my mum, I’m 5’3 and my mum is 5’6. Then should I do a slightly smaller one?
I also might make some Santa hats since it’s coming to Christmas time! Do you have any ideas on how to size them? And what sizes? Like a baby one, child, teenager and two adult sizes or should I just do like 3 sizes idkk
What are your opinions on crocheting while you’re there in between customers? 
For pricing on sweaters and hats etc they’d be different sizes so should I price them slightly different depending on the size or should they all be the same?
What is your opinion on plushies of animals that are the wrong colour like a blue bee for example? Do they sell well?
What about slightly more random/obscure crochet creatures like a pigeon with a bagel (I have seen this pattern and it’s super cute!) or a pink fairy armadillo because they’re more rare. Do you think they would sell?
If you have any opinions or facts about these please let me know!!

I don’t know about random things, I made a croissant with a face and I’m not sure if it will sell because it looks really silly with eyebrows
Different colored ones, not really. At least not for me.
(Sorry i’m starting at the bottom and going up with the questions :joy)
If there is not a big difference I would make sweaters the same so that it is easier.
I like to crochet at my markets because people think it’s cool, they see that I am actually making it myself and then it draws them in to buy something. Also a good conversation starter.
I was planning on making Santa hats too, I’ll link the pattern in a sec that I was planning to use.
I’d say yes, do a smaller sweater, not everyone wants it to be oversized.
Also happy thanksgiving! I have a market on the same day

Ooo I’d love to see a pic of that, I think it’d be really funny! If I saw something unique I’d probably want to get it but that’s just me, I just wanted to know if anyone else had an answer lol
Okay! That’s good feedback :)
Ya I’m thinking I’ll just do the one size I wear then a slightly smaller one that isn’t over sized but also isn’t cropped
Ya that’s what I was thinking and also they will know you’re the one who does the crochet!
Haha that’s so funny! I think it’s a good idea lol for Santa hats and I’ve made two in the past which were pretty easy and I also free handed
Ikkk, what time zone are you in? I feel like you have said but I can’t remember haha, I’m est
Happy thanksgiving!!
