Most of mine are $15 each. Some of the yarns I use cost almost that much to make the hats, so things even out in the end.I generally don't buy economy yarn, but I do find some one sale or clearance of the nicer yarn and I'll stock up. I do make some basic thick dc beanies I sell for $5 using Red Heart Super Saver. I can get 2.5 adult hats from one solid color of the SS yarn. It takes me about a hour to make the $5 hats and up to 6 hours for some of the $15 hats.
I figure if I take the time to make something that takes away some time from my 1-year-old, I'm going to price it that way.
What gets me is that there is a local photographer I have contacted about doing some things for her and she responded that she prefers to have things shipped from Etsy. Umm, hello? I have an Etsy shop with some of the SAME things she uses as props and she's paying MORE for them. She's a local craftsman snob from what I've heard... she'll post a photo with a caption that tells where she got her props and NONE are from locals. I know - weird rant.
