Work from home knitting jobs are typically self-employed positions that use patterns to create clothing, accessories, or household items from yarn. Your specific job duties depend on your clients and what you do with your finished knit products. You may take customized orders and make items based on the customer's specifications. Or you may generate many different types of items, such as hats, scarves, or socks, and sell your items to the public, either in person, at craft vendor events, or online. Craft retailers may also take your items and place them in their stores to sell on your behalf for a fee or they may take a percentage of the profits.
