I have been knitting these for a while now and will find a craft fair this fall for selling them..but I need help with pricing...so many have told me I need to raise my prices..what do you think?
I have been getting $15 and feel that is a fair price..

They should be $20.
Tell the customers that the ones that were previously sold were from yarn from your stash. You had to buy more, and the price of yarn has gone up so your prices had to go up.

I know what you mean -all your effort should account for something. I taught crochet for years and we always said to ask 2 to 2 1/2 times the price of your material used. But sad to say that depends on your area. Where I live, we would never get $15. People complain when I ask $6 for a crocheted baby afghan and $20 for full sized so I have stopped making any for sale.

20.00 certainly seems fair. I priced American doll clothes last Christmas for my great niece. They were very expensive. My mom and I ended up making the doll clothes. No sweaters thought, I don't knit.

At least $20.00. Really cute. My daughter was an American Doll gal when she was little.
