Kristina,
Is it single thickness or double thickness? Does it has a potholder insert to protect hands? Have you price matched with similar items in your area or the online community? And cost of supplies plus time spent.

You can look at my pricing at my etsy shop. I looked on etsy to find pricing of items I make. I haven't had a problem selling them locally, but have yet to sell crochet items on etsy. Dishcloths are $4 for regular cotton, $5 for organic. I don't know about potholders. I agree with the previous poster - it's cost of supplies plus time spent - but you have to go with your local pricing and/or online pricing. If you're too high, nothing will sell.

There is a wonderful book on this topic-fun & easy to read in style-called "The Handmade Marketplace" By Kari Chapin. She goes into pricing and so much more. Another factor in pricing is where and how much you pay for the yarn- Big lots often sells all sorts of yarn starting at $1 a ball and some for more. Yard sales often offer a ton of yarn at give away prices. The lower the yarn cost,the better the deal you can offer. Sets also give you a chance to charge more. Like 3 dish cloths,so on & so forth.
