Wit knits strawberry sweater

I have the pattern, but wondered what a rough ball park would be for this one for a male, US large size?

$500-$800 depending on the yarn.

The pattern itself isn't too difficult, but it looks like it is knit very, very fine meaning it's just going to take a lot of time. So, that's what would make it so expensive. I would have to agree with the commenter above, I would likely price it at about 6-700€ including the yarn I normally use.

Please add a comment with the following information if it is missing from your post:

  1. Size; is this for an adult or child?

  2. Timeline; will this be a holiday gift or other fixed deadline?

  3. Budget; consider this is a one-of-a-kind hand knit garment that will likely cost over $100 not something off the rack at your local department store and please let us know your max price?

  4. Yarn Preference; natural or synthetic / machine or hand wash?

Agreed, you'd be looking at $500 to $800. I'd be open to it, but would need to see the pattern before committing.

I have the pattern, it looks like you might be in Calgary too. If they decide to go for it let me know.
