Crochet Pricing Guides
5 practical guides with worked examples and real numbers — each one pairs with the free Crochet Pricing Calculator.
Crochet is slow work, which is why so many common pricing rules leave makers underpaid. These guides test the popular 3× materials rule against what it actually pays per hour, then show how to price blankets, amigurumi and other pieces so your time is covered — and how pricing differs between Etsy and craft fairs. The crochet pricing calculator shows a price for your own pieces, and the hourly rate it really pays you.
