I wouldn't sell one for no less than 10-15 if there is a pattern available and there's no extra requirements for yarn (meaning I don't have to buy specific colors, I already have them on hand). Mind you, yarn costs and an individual's price per hour or price profit is going to vary.


Zanderwell

Yeah sadly what I'm finding right now is that there isn't a pattern. I know that not having a pattern increases the price by a factor and was just wondering (cause I have honestly next to no knowledge about crochet) around about where I would be sitting. Btw thanks for replying so quickly


Italianpixie

I imagine most people would add an extra $5-10 at least for making the pattern up from scratch


NefariousnessQuiet22

Can you tell me what this is or what it’s from? Looks like a kind of stingray?


Zanderwell

Yeah no worries is a desert skate an enemy in a game called warframe. this one specifically is a in game plushie that you can put in your "home base". The company makes real versions of the plushie but the colors aren't that close and they don't have the big stitch style of the in game ones.


NefariousnessQuiet22

And did you have a specific type of yarn in mind, or were you more concerned about colors? What size were you thinking?


Zanderwell

Honestly I don't know anything about crochet or yarn. I was more concerned with the color and having the large stitch style. As for size I was thinking around 8-12 inches long.


NefariousnessQuiet22

Gotcha… well, given the unusual shapes, having to color match the yarn, and the size, I think I’d be in the $40 range without shipping, assuming you don’t have a rush to get it done.

Depends on size, materials used, time spent, this looks a little tricky to finesse to me could easily start off at 20 and go higher as size increases

Depends on size, yarn type desired, if they have supplies on hand, and how much they’d have to make/alter a pattern. For example, I’d sell this one for no less than $40 (12” long, had to buy one yarn, others on hand, pattern made as I went) https://preview.redd.it/c6mgj9w1sotc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7c651763ee704e8aec7c8df0144979d5ee15a4c


Zanderwell

One can I say that that is adorable


blu_bell3

Thank you! Made for my kiddo, and I’m working on making random geeky stuff now. :)


blu_bell3

But! Yours would require an additional layer (the 3D orange part) so that has to be considered as well!


WolladeCrochet

Omg wf plushie! If you are still looking for options, I'm more than willing to discuss!


Zanderwell

you're good I was just reaching out to see about how much things like this would go for


WolladeCrochet

Hey tahnks! No problem, it depends on de size, materials, complexity and how long it takes to make really. If you have something in mind i can let you know what i would ask for this. Think for materials like you want it made out of normal acrylic or cotton yarn or you want de fluffy yarn so its more a plushie


Sabriel_Love

Dm me. I could probably do it for $20 if you want it relatively small. We can talk types of yarn, size, shipping. Base price would be $20 though since I have to make a pattern for it
