That's a tough question to answer. To be fair to yourself, you should pay yourself for your time, plus the cost of the yarn - and don't forget any other expenses, like paypal fees.

It's hard to say what's "reasonable" - from whose point of view? A buyer might think a $10 nautie is reasonable, but that might not even cover your yarn cost, so it's out of the question.

(See this page for some of the issues involved:http://www.sleepingbaby.net/jan/Baby/why.html )

Here's my suggestion: figure out how many hours it takes to make a Nautie, and how much your time is worth ($10/hour?). Then browse etsy for similar items, looking especially at things that have successfully been sold. If the price you figured is in the range that seems to work for other sellers, great. Otherwise, see if it's reasonable (to YOU!) to adjust the price you charge.

Good luck - remember, you can post a single item on etsy, anytime; you don't have to wait until you have a whole fleet of them to sell. Also, I've found that etsy gets pretty good business in December, from holiday gift-givers.

I finally finished a nautie I started back in April -- I'm already planning the next one, and possibly the one after that. These would make great craft-fair/fundraiser items, assuming I have time to make 'em. Thanks so much for giving permission to sell them -- I, too, will be sure to credit you and knitty. You can see my blue nautie at my site -- can't get html to work right now but it's there!
