What should my crochet and knits cost?

Crochet & Knit Pricing Calculator

In the example data, a 6-inch amigurumi bunny at $28 loses $25.72 on every sale once 2 hours of work at $20/hour and Etsy fees are counted. It needs at least $84.40. The chunky merino beanie at $48 makes just $0.31 (its minimum is $71.29), and the chenille infinity scarf at $65 is healthy.

Hand-made yarn work takes hours, so the price gap is often bigger than you think. Enter your yarn once with its skein price and yardage, list what each make uses, and add your minutes of work. Then decide with real numbers: raise the price, simplify the pattern, or keep it as a loss-leader on purpose.
