A crochet business in Bangladesh can start from home: one maker began with ৳500 of yarn (Songjog, July 2026). Handmade bags were listed at ৳300–৳3,800 (online listings, secondary, November 2026), and profit depends on yarn, hours and price. On JADUZ, a curated marketplace, joining and listing are free, Pathao collects from your door, and buyers pay cash on delivery.
The crochet market in Bangladesh
- Interest in crochet, known locally as "kushi katar kaj", and knitting has surged in Bangladesh, "becoming an art, a hobby, and even a budding business". The same report calls demand "pretty high" and the high cost of materials the main challenge (The Financial Express, December 2024)
- Price pressure is real: the CEO of the Bangladesh Women's Entrepreneurship Forum says handmade items are displayed everywhere online and in local markets, and that prices at local shops and street markets "are unbelievably low" (The Financial Express, December 2024)
- Gero, a Dhaka mother-daughter crochet and macramé business, has sold online since August 2020. Its co-owner says "we do make a profit", but that customers "are not always agreeable to our pricing" and that they "cannot make products in bulk" (The Daily Star, January 2024)
- Sinthia Jim's Tontur Satkahon began on ৳6,000 and has grown on its own profit to about ৳50,000 of working capital. It sells from a ৳20 key ring to pieces of several thousand taka, and gets 8–10 large custom orders a month online (Daily Karatoa, June 2026)
- Sharmin Sultana Rakhi started three years ago with ৳500 of yarn. Her most popular piece, a tissue box cover, sells at ৳250–৳300, a set of six mats and a runner at ৳1,200–৳1,400, and three cup coasters at ৳100. Demand for her work is higher among people she knows and offline than online (Songjog, July 2026)
- Bunon, an online crochet platform started in 2014, began on ৳500 by one report and about ৳1,000 by another, and teaches the basics in two to five days. In 2021 about 150 women in Geneva Camp and about 500 across the country made its children's shoes, bed covers and blankets, priced at ৳500–৳17,000 (The Daily Star, August 2020, and The Business Standard, July 2021)
- Crochet bags listed online: a small mobile bag at ৳300 (BeshiDeshi), a ladies' bag at ৳999 (Globalix), a 14 × 12 inch hand bag at ৳1,850 (Bohumatra), a 12 × 12 inch tote at ৳2,299 (Ihsas Craft) and a bag at ৳3,000 (Craftyapa) (shop listings, secondary, November 2026)
- A Pabna seller on Bikroy was asking ৳3,200–৳3,800 for handmade 3D crochet rose bags and ৳2,600 for a kiss-lock bag. These are asking prices, not sales (Bikroy, secondary, November 2026)
- Buyers also see look-alikes: a "crochet-style" polyester sunflower tote was listed at ৳1,599, which is one reason to say plainly that yours is hooked by hand (AmarXpress, secondary, November 2026)
- 4-ply milk cotton yarn was listed at ৳77 and ৳79 for 50 g (Othoba and StarMiss), and a ball of about 50 g sold as 80% cotton and 20% milk fibre at ৳80 (Ripon Traders). A set of six aluminium hooks was ৳280 (NoorBD) and a 52-piece hook box ৳600 (StarMiss) (shop listings, secondary, November 2026)
- Crochet yarn, needles and hooks are "mostly imported from China and elsewhere" (The Financial Express, December 2024). One maker bought yarn and hooks at the Mirpur-10 yarn market in Dhaka (Daily Karatoa, June 2026), and another buys yarn at Bogura New Market and Gobindaganj (Songjog, July 2026)
- Local online pages named in one feature sold crochet tops, dresses, hair clips, totes, earrings and sweaters, some taking pre-orders for winter (The Business Standard, December 2023). The work isn't only for winter: you'll find vests, light cardigans and lace "all year round" (The Financial Express, December 2024)
- Among crochet searches in Bangladesh, "crochet bag price in bangladesh" ranks highest in Google's suggestions, ahead of "crochet price in bangladesh", "crochet hook price in bangladesh" and "crochet rose bag price in bangladesh". Among business searches, "crochet business in bangladesh" and "is crochet business profitable" rank highest. That is suggestion rank, not search volume (Google Autocomplete collected by JADUZ, secondary, November 2026)

How selling crochet works on JADUZ
Every maker follows the same path from order to money:
- An order comes in
- You accept and pack it
- Pathao picks it up
- The buyer pays cash
- Your earning reaches your wallet
- Withdraw to bKash, Nagad or bank
Listing, photos and packing
- Start with two or three small pieces you can repeat, such as coasters, tissue box covers, hair clips or a small phone bag. Write down the yarn, parts and minutes for each, so your price rests on real numbers. Then try a tote or a rose bag.
- Name the yarn as it was sold to you, such as milk cotton, Samarian, nylon, wool or jute, with the ply if you know it. Write "100% cotton" or "pure wool" only if the pack or your supplier says so.
- Say plainly that the crochet is hooked by hand, and whether you sewed a lining or zip on your own machine. A machine-sewn lining is fine when you say so; machine-knit or factory-made "crochet" can't be listed as hand-crocheted.
- A lining, zip, clasp, handle, ready-made base or bag frame you buy is named as bought in, never as handmade. Bought-in yarn and hooks are fine; the crochet is your handwork.
- Lay the piece flat without stretching and measure it, in inches with centimetres. For a bag, give width, height, depth and handle drop; for a mat or throw, both sides; for a hat or top, the size it fits. Say what a bag can carry only after you've loaded it yourself. Crochet bags go in the handbags category.
- Add a care line you've tested on a sample: how to wash the piece, whether to wring it and how to dry it. Warn the buyer if dyed yarn may bleed in the first wash, and don't write "colourfast" or "baby-safe" unless you know it.
- Photograph in daylight with true colour and no filter: the whole piece, a close-up of the stitches, the inside or back, and the piece in use, such as a bag on a shoulder. Use real photos of the real piece only, never AI-made or borrowed images.
- Fold soft pieces in tissue and stuff a bag with paper so it keeps its shape. Seal the piece in a clear plastic bag against damp, then put it in a mailer bag. Photograph each sealed, labelled parcel before handover.
- JADUZ accepts crochet you make yourself or in your own workshop. Factory-made or imported crochet bought to resell is refused, because it isn't your handwork.

Good to know
Is a crochet business profitable in Bangladesh?
It can be, but we found no published profit margin for crochet in Bangladesh, and we don't promise an income. Gero, a Dhaka crochet and macramé business, says "we do make a profit" but that customers don't always accept its prices (The Daily Star, January 2024). Tontur Satkahon grew from ৳6,000 to about ৳50,000 of working capital on its own profit (Daily Karatoa, June 2026). Your profit is your selling price minus yarn, parts, packing, commission and the value of your hours.
What should I make first for a crochet business?
Start with small pieces you can repeat, and test them on people you know. One maker's first sale was plate mats with a runner for ৳1,200–৳1,400, and tissue box covers at ৳250–৳300 became her most popular piece (Songjog, July 2026). Once you know your hours, try a bag: "crochet bag price in bangladesh" ranks highest in Google's crochet suggestions (Google Autocomplete collected by JADUZ, secondary, November 2026).
How much should I charge for a crochet bag?
Add up yarn, parts, packing and your hours, add a margin, then compare. An example with made-up numbers: yarn ৳320, zip and lining ৳100, packing ৳30, and 8 hours at ৳60 an hour (৳480) comes to ৳930, and a 20% margin makes about ৳1,120. Use your own numbers, and leave room for the commission in the Maker Terms. Handmade crochet bags were listed at ৳300–৳3,800 (online listings, secondary, November 2026). On JADUZ you set your own price, and every order shows your earning before you accept it.
Where do I buy crochet yarn and hooks in Bangladesh?
One maker bought yarn and hooks at the Mirpur-10 yarn market in Dhaka (Daily Karatoa, June 2026), and another buys yarn at Bogura New Market and Gobindaganj (Songjog, July 2026). Online shops sell both: 4-ply milk cotton was listed at ৳77–৳79 for 50 g and a six-hook set at ৳280 (Othoba, StarMiss and NoorBD, secondary, November 2026). Most yarn and hooks are imported, which makes them expensive (The Financial Express, December 2024), so work out your costs from what you actually paid.
Where can I sell crochet online in Bangladesh?
Bangladeshi makers sell crochet through their own social media pages, marketplaces such as Daraz (The Business Standard, December 2023), and JADUZ, a curated marketplace for handmade work. The comparison on this page shows how they differ. On JADUZ, joining and listing are free, Pathao collects each sold piece from your door, the buyer pays cash on delivery after checking the piece in front of the rider, and you withdraw to bKash, Nagad or a bank. JADUZ asks for your NID and photos of your work, not a shop or a trade licence. Under a 2022 guideline, online businesses need a Digital Business ID (DBID), which can be had from RJSC even without a trade licence (The Daily Star, June 2022).
My bag has a bought-in base, lining or handle. Is it still handmade?
Yes, if you hooked the crochet yourself. Name the bought-in parts plainly, such as "zip and lining bought in", and never call them handmade. If you sewed a lining on your own machine, say so. A ready-made bag with only a crochet flower on top is a ready-made bag, not a crochet bag, and can't be listed as hand-crocheted. Machine-made or factory-made crochet bought to resell isn't accepted, because it isn't your handwork.
