I've been trying to figure this out for a while now, but does anyone know a good way to charge fairly for work like knitting/crochet when I make more stuff or cross-stitch things? I did see a formula tht said double the cost of materials and charge by the hour, but if I did that by the minimum wage here in the UK it would be ridiculaously expensive compared to similar things. Also I tend to watch or listen to stuff or talk to people as well while making things. Yay for pying attention to several things at once. I also know a lot of people just make things and sell it as a hobby so their pricing is much different. I also read that some people charge by the day but that's more for things like furniture but definitely an interesting way of doing it. I have heard too that price supposedly reflects the quality and my thing as well is I'm not making anything by machine for the most part so it normally takes a tonne of time to make or can do, especially if the things are more complicated and have patterns, but then there are also things like the hat I've written the pattern for that's pretty much mindless.
Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks

Just search online for sellers of similar crafts then charge like them. Only by experience you'll know when to lower or increase your price.

crafter doubling materials is a good place to start. it gets you the stuff to make the next one. after that and the above advice i would also consider the cost of comparable commercially made items.
if you get too far for those prices you probably won't sell much of yours
