Knitting is a favorite type of women's needlework. They are ready to hold a hook or knitting needles in their hands for hours, creating real works of art. Your own creativity brings pleasure, allows you to relax, and helps you avoid stress. In addition, the knitter manages to please her loved ones with a new thing, spending much less on it than it would cost to buy a new item.
Knitting can also be a source of additional income. After all, things made with your own hands are highly valued these days. It is no coincidence that the hand made style belongs to the top trends.
Moreover, you can make money not only by creating things that are complex in technique or design. Even regular socks can be profitable.
Let's talk about the experience of knitters who were convinced of this.
Why socks?
Socks have a number of benefits for knitters.
- The main advantage of the products is that they everyone needs! Children and the elderly, men and women, will not be able to cope in cold weather without a pair of woolen socks. They They warm, help protect against hypothermia, and provide dry warmth necessary for health.
- It's easy to learn how to knit them! This is done not only by experienced knitters, but also by beginning needlewomen. Moreover, children and even men successfully create the necessary things!
- The simplest socks do not have complex patterns, so it takes a little time for a couple.
- Knitting socks does not require special equipment. You can take knitting needles or a hook, a small ball with you, so you can knit almost anywhere!
Costs are minimal
Socks are also beneficial because they can actually be a waste-free production. The yarn purchased by the knitter will be completely used up.
ADVICE! The remains can be used to create a special pair - variegated, melange. She will look no less attractive.
Knitting is also convenient because the consumable material (yarn) is practically impossible to spoil. The needlewoman simply undoes the fabric she doesn’t like and ties it again.
Socks are not boring!
Despite their simplicity, you should not treat socks with disdain. Knitters have a place to show their creativity. This means that the range of products can be constantly updated.
Socks may vary.
- Short.
- Elongated.
- Simple.
- Openwork.

- In the enterlac style - with a patchwork effect.
- With inscriptions.
- In the form of animals, etc.

Do you like to knit, but have already given warm clothes to all your loved ones? Don't give up on a fun activity! Knit for sale!
ADVICE! When determining prices, take an interest in products that are already on sale. Please note that the price for a pair starts from 400–500 rubles. and reaches 1500–2000 rubles.
- Surely in your city there is more than one shop that sells handmade products. Ask about the conditions selling things for sale.
- Knit to order. Just tell your friends that you are ready to do this. Among them there will be those who wanted, but did not dare, to bother you with such a request.

Just recently the thought came to me: who needs knitted socks now??? There is such a choice around, materials, colors and prices. Homemade ones are not even as comfortable to wear as all sorts of thermal socks and other modern products. Build a handicraft business on this?
Where do they sell socks like this for 400 rubles? In our city, such socks are sold for 150 rubles, even the yarn will not pay for itself. I have worked as a knitter all my life, but now I have given up this business, since it is impossible to sell anything knitted in our city. People don't have money. Everyone shops second-hand.
If you knit with high-quality yarn: the yardage is not large for two openwork socks, about 400 meters, this is about 2 skeins = about 800 rubles, take our prickly village, the meterage is 200 meters, which means again 2 skeins about 260 rubles, the author apparently does not know the prices of yarn, in I even sent a gift to England with a bang, booties, fishnet socks, crochet socks, footwear and slippers for myself and my family. But knitting a sheepskin for sale is not worth the candle.
