Very little. Unfortunately, people don't want to pay enough for most crocheted items to cover the cost of yarn, yet alone your time. Enjoy it as a hobby, but don't expect to make money doing it unless you are good enough to become a contract crocheter for a designer or publisher, or are a designer yourself. Even then, it's no way to get rich!

What does gauge mean when crocheting?

Gauge in Crocheting or Knitting would be the number of stitches per inch.You would make a swatch, and check it for the correct stitches/inch. To make a swatch, you will make a sample of the pattern. Using the suggested weight yarn (or specific yarn called for in the pattern), and suggested hook/needle size, begin crocheting a square--approximately 6inches by 6inches.After following the pattern, get a tape measure, and measure a 4inch by 4inch section in the middle of the swatch (you really need to not measure from side to side on the swatch, as most people crochet differently on the edge, than in the field of the item).Then you would count out how many stitches you made over 4inches in the row, and then how many rows you had in 4 inches. Then divide those numbers by 4 to get an average stitch per inch, and row per inch.Compare that with the gauge given in the pattern. What you are attempting to do to make sure that your project will match with the pattern as written. Otherwise, you could end up with a sweater too small, or large. Checking your gauge helps you determine what adjustments you might need to do to the pattern to have it end up as you need it to.


Why does crochet hurt my hand?

It can be used by how you are holding your hook and the tenseness that you are crocheting with. As you get more practicing, your tenseness should ease. However, don't cause injury to yourself by overdoing it.


How do you make a picot stitch in crocheting?

A picot stitch is made with chain stitches. For a small picot, chain 3, then put a slip stitch in the first chain stitch. For a larger picot, do 5 stitches the same way. If you chose to change the amount of stitches, odd numbers are best so that there is a middle stitch.
