For those who don't know me, I'm Alex (she/they), and I started the year off with Covid. Because I had to take two weeks off work, I'm really hurting for money right now, so I'm opening up a limited number of slots for crochet commissions to try to fill in that financial gap.
ALL of the materials I use are machine washer/dryer safe
Pictures of my recent work and prices are below. Including: stuffed animals, dice bags, holiday stockings, blankets. As well as: shipping info, custom request info.
For further questions or to request a commission: message me here or email me at [email protected]
When I did my poll, most people voted for stuffed animals, and I recently finished a few that I can show my skills with. The blue penguin is my latest finished piece, with the purple penguin the first thing I ever crocheted side-by-side for comparison of how much I've learned in the last ~7 months. The mouse is technically unfinished because the eyes aren't embroidered yet, but I made it in about a day and a half, for timeline purposes.
I also just finished the above dice bag octopus about an hour ago for my roommate, which took about three hours of non-stop work (I turned on a movie and got through the stitches pretty quick). I can make them in any color you want, with either the plastic safety eyes or embroidered eyes. Most of these can be entirely customizable, just let me know what you're thinking and I'll see what I can do!
I don't have any pictures of any of the hats or scarves I've made because it's been a few years, but I made some stockings for the apartment for Christmas last month, and that's one of my most recent projects. The green one was the last one I made, and probably the most accurate to what my capabilities are now.
If you'd like a stocking for Christmas 2024, let me know! I have an unlimited number of slots for them as the holiday is far enough away that the time crunch isn't so rough.
The least popular item in my poll was the blankets, which I understand. And I'm only going to open one slot for them at a time because they take so long and so much yarn to make. The wave pattern (both blankets pictured above) is my favorite to do, but I have patterns for most simple designs, or I can likely easily google it and put it together for you. Prices are based on the time and materials these take to make, but because they're so much more expensive than the smaller items above, domestic (US) shipping is free.
Baby blanket (top left): $50
Throw blanket/afghan: $100
Full size (length shown in bottom picture): $200
1 blanket slot (0 REMAINING)
Custom requests:
If there's a pattern you've found on Etsy/Pinterest/etc that you want made, contact me by using the contact information above. We can discuss prices or my ability to accomplish that for you. ***patterns must be CROCHET patterns as I do not knit (yet)***
5 custom slots total
International shipping:
Let me know when you request a commission where you are located, as shipping prices vary wildly from country to country. I'll go over the actual cost with you before you commit to the commission and make sure the price works for both of us.

If there’s anyone in the Venn diagram of crocheter and Super Mario RPG fan, i will pay actual cash money to someone who can provide me with a crochet pattern for a Mallow amigurumi
I’ve had good experience with Fiverr for stuff like cross-stitch patterns, artwork, and guitar tabs, but after three failed attempts in a row to get a crochet pattern from three separate sellers, I’m kind of giving up on that particular avenue.
anyone here make crochet patterns and willing to make me one for Mallow? Name your price, I’m delighted to pay you for your work through whatever venue you choose
also welcome would be people who can recommend reliable folks who take crochet pattern commissions!
Taught myself how to crochet a few weeks ago, just because I wanted to make things for myself lol And everyone started asking me to make things for them lol so I decided I’m going to start selling some of things I make
I'm starting out with with rosettes, stim toys, hats, and gloves (fingerless or convertible) but I'm open to working with you on other projects if you find a pattern that you like. I can also work with you about specific designs and/or colors for your project.
Pricing:
Rosettes and marble stims: $10 + shipping
Fingerless gloves: $35 + shipping
Convertible gloves: $40 + shipping
Basic hat: $35
Newsboy hat or other design: $45
DM me for details and requests! I'm open to doing international shipping if you are willing to cover shipping costs.
From the same commission in December as the lobster, the client requested Hobie Brown aka Spider-Punk from Across the Spider-Verse. He has so many details that I spend hours working on, plus a hand painted (by my partner) 3D printed guitar.
Helping out a friend of mine with her commissions. If you're interested, please feel free to DM me on Tumblr so that I can pass you onto her for further discussions!
Also we ship internationally!
(Psst... You can commission for turtles, I know y'all love those... Maybe even get a Leo without an arm 👀👀👀)
Because of the ice storm in our area, I've lost out on an entire week of work. The sidewalk and parking lot of our apartment complex is completely iced over and we cannot safely go anywhere. That does mean our income the rest of the month is going to me abysmal, unfortunately.
I originally opened up commissions due to starting the year with Covid, and then getting sent home from work on my first day back because of a separate illness. I was supposed to go back to work on Sunday (1/14), but that was when the storm hit and nothing was done to make getting out of the lot safe, nor was the main street near us plowed or salted. I have still worked a grand total of 3 hours and 48 minutes in the year 2024, and I'm kind of desperate to make enough money to keep paying rent.
Things are supposed to melt by tomorrow, but I don't have another shift until Sunday. At that point, I should go back to 40hr weeks, and things will get easier. But, until then (and probably beyond then), I'm doing crochet commissions, as well as opening up my own Etsy store to ease a few of those!
The link to the store is below, or, if you want something other than the two listings I currently have, just message me and we can work something out 💜
