Crochet Pricing $

Hi ribblr friends! You know how when you crochet something and you’re finally done with it? Then you decide to sell it, well the hard part is pricing because that’s my problem right now; when it comes to pricing your crochet you need to do a certain amount of things like how much time you worked on it+material costs+ expenses etc..

I don’t know how long this took you to crochet, but I sold a dragon that looks similarly sized for I believe $50 CAD. It took me 1h and 45 mins, so I calculated minimum wage ($15/h where I live), which added up to $26.25, then I added an estimated material cost of like, $4, making the total $30.25. I multiplied the total by 1.65, to add business profit, so it totalled approximately $50.

Depending on the item, I might lower or raise the profit amount, if I see that it could be sold for higher or not. I honestly think handmade work, especially the kind that can’t be machine produced like crochet, should not go for merely minimum wage. But that is how I started. The main thing is to make sure you value your time, and to account for cost. Profit matters to keep the business going as well, but you can play around with it as well.
