You’ve been crocheting for a while, and now you’re thinking about making some profit off this hobby. Or maybe, you’ve gone to a craft fair before and loved it, and now you want to be part of it.
But what to sell? Figuring out what to display in your booth can be a challenge. It can’t be anything too time-consuming or detailed, since you need to mass-produce them for the display.
So what’s quick and easy to make, yet eye-catching and attractive enough to lure customers to your booth?
Not to worry, I’ve got you covered! In this post, I’ve compiled a series of cute and lovely amigurumi patterns that are beginner-friendly and will take less than an hour to make!
The great thing about crocheting amigurumi is that most patterns only calls for single crochets and some sewing.
This makes them not only very accessible to beginners, but quicker to work through than if you had to pay attention to making five different types of stitches!
Previously, I’ve shared a tip on how to resize amigurumi. When crocheting for craft fairs, you should definitely consider substituting thinner yarn with thicker yarn like velvet or chenille, as they will take roughly the same amount of time to crochet, but the resulting size will be a lot bigger!
Not only are bigger amigurumi more eye-catching, you can also price them higher. All of the patterns listed below will look cute at all sizes, so go and take a look!

You can also choose to customize the colors of your bunnies—gray, cream, or brown for realistic bunnies, pink or blue for fantastical ones!

This sweet teddy bear will certainly draw the eyes of people at the craft fair! At first glance, most people won’t even realize this teddy bear has been crocheted!

This bee or a variation of it has made its rounds on Instagram and TikTok! You’ve probably seen it, and so will your potential customers!

5. Amigurumi Pumpkin
Save this pattern for when fall comes around again! Which is soon, for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere!
These cute pumpkins will happily greet your customers!
If you crochet them using the recommended size and hook, you may choose to attach a chain and sell them as keychains!
