Okay so I’m having a lot of trouble with pricing my products. Recently, I’ve been looking at popular crocheters on yt and how much they sell their products. All of them sell their products quite high (imo) and I don’t know if I need to make my prices higher.
For Example: SambrosisCrochet sells her mushrooms, chicks, and mini chicks in flower baskets around $20-26
I sell mushiebois for $8 and chicks for $5
RefinedVibes sells her sitting bees for $20 and her leggy frogs for $20 and her mini turtles for $22
I sell bees and leggy frogs for $8
I don’t know if their prices are just higher online, but if I remember correctly I saw that Sambrosis sold her loaf cats for $25. I sell my loaf cats for about $12.
But then there’s times where I question if I should lower some of my prices. CrochetByGenna sells her dragons which look about the same size as mine for $20 dollars while I sell mine for $30
If any of you have any pricing tips or strategies I’d love it if you’d share them!!

I think you actually have really good prices.
everything seems super acurate and I love CrochetByGenna but I agree that it should be $30
I feel like dragons no matter what the pattern always seem to take forever!
I hope your items sell well!

Whatever feels right to you! Don’t underpay yourself, and remember that prices can differ from a lot of different factors such as online vs. in person (shipping costs, etc.), location/audience (some cities have different incomes), yarn type, the person making it’s physical crochet speed and talent, and more.

If you take a picture of the items you are wanting to price you could let people give better advice to you or if you can’t you could say how many stitches was in each project (gauge) and or how big the project is and how much yarn you used while making the projects and how much do you want to make hourly from each!!!

Popular people can sell their things higher because they are popular. Everyone wants a piece by them. My grammy who sold at markets always said she started off underpricing herself, not by much. Just noticeable because most other crafters were well established. She was more a quilt maker, embroidery and mesh canvas type of an artist. After she’d been selling at the same markets for a year, she started to charge more competitively.
She always told me cost of materials used x2 plus what you feel your time per hour was worth. She said if you’re starting out it would be whatever minimum wage was at and go up depending on your skill.
I’d say in today’s market, whatever you charge now and sell consistently at, raise it slowly by a few dollars at a time. If they no longer sell consistently, drop the price a little until they do.

Supplies+ hours times cost per hour (at least minimum wage!!!)+ $5 design fee!!

I think u could definitely go a bit higher but remember for sambrosis, her currency is different to the US so that may be why its different, but also people online like tiktokers or YouTubers have a follower based audience so they come out with a new pattern the followers who watch them and want to buy there patters or plushies for the fact that they made it.
Hope this helps
