[Updated to add: I ended up low-balling it and charging them $75. I broke it down on the receipt by actual yarn cost and labor. Either of the other ways came out to more than I felt good about charging them. If they want to pay me more, fine, and they can probably afford it being that they're a two-income family, and he's a manager at Hubby's company, but I felt weird charging more. Then again, Saloni charged someone $80 make a pair of socks....]
OK, here be the hats for Sanjesh’s baby. Still nailing down how much I’m going to charge for them. Two schools of thought I’ve heard are:
- Double the price of the yarn
- The price of the yarn + 10c or 20c per yard used

Green hat is Cascade Luna (cotton). All the other hats are either Filatura di Crosa Zara or Karabella Aurora 8 — washable wool. I really liked how they turned out. The white one is plain except for the topknot. With the others, I wanted to do something fancier. Since you can’t really do lace for a boy (well, I suppose you could), I went for texture instead.
Now, to find some hemp yarn to make something for Jubal & Nichole’s soon-to-come baby boy. (I was going to make an argyle set b/c Jubal’s a golfer, but Hubby stopped me b/c that’s not their style at all. They’re more hemp type of people. Is there hemp yarn? Hee, hee, hee! Time to purchase some hemp yarn….
