Crocheted Cookies in a Jar


I designed and wrote the pattern for this fun, educational counting toy.  The jar is double stranded sport-weight acrylic yarn.  And the various cookies are made from cotton yarn.  The backs of the cookies have embroidered numbers done with size 10 thread.  Variety of cookies includes:  2 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, 2 Vanilla Sandwich, 3 Frosted Sugar, and 3 Chocolate Chip, totally 10 cookies.  Since I wrote the pattern myself, I will be selling the pattern on Etsy, and I've already got a request for someone who wants to buy the set!  I am thinking $25 for selling the set, what do you guys think? I've never sold any goods before, usually just gift things to close friends and family for birthdays/holidays.  :)  Now I just need to get my ass in gear, get to a craft store and restock supplies.  Thank you for all your support, happy crafting everyone!

  2. TY. I am still "mentally" writing the cookie patterns. I don't think I'll be including all the assortment, just choc chip and frosted. but will prolly add a note for encouraging crocheter's to tinker around, or explore other cookie designs.
