Hot Dish Mat Set - Three-In-One Crochet Pattern Hot Dish Mat Set - Three-In-One Crochet Pattern

Three different sizes of mats complete this set. It is made of mercerized crochet thread in cream, tea rose, rose fraise and light green; use a size 3 crochet hook. Any other desirable color scheme may be used.


If you were asked to crochet several cotton dish cloths, what is a proper fee to charge for each?

Cotton is expensive and there is time.

I would consider the cost of the thread/yarn. Lily's Sugar and Cream is about $2-$3 depending. It takes about 1/3 of a ball of it to make one dish cloth...It would take me about and hour or two to make one.

How much is the person willing to pay? Most people are not willing to pay what the time and effort is really worth. One way to over come it is by selling them in a small bundle. Like 3 for $11 or 1 for $4.50.
or one for $5 and two for $9...see if they buy more and feel like they get a "discount" you can get away with charging a little more.
