Question for you knitters...
How much would you charge to make this for someone (including the price of the yarn)?
https://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer07/PATTzodiac.html
It's a knit sleepsack. I've been trying to find a pattern for a crochet one (both my mom and MIL crochet so that would have been easy!) I have a good friend that knits and I was thinking about asking her to make this for DS2, but I obviously want to pay her for the yarn and her time. Since I am not a knitter, I have no idea if this is a simple project or really time-consuming (I don't want the zodiac thingy in the bottom, if that saves any time).
Thoughts? My littlest love blankets, but is all over teh place in his crib and while he will wear a sleep sack, I thought this (in a lightweight yarn) might be a nice alternative.
Thanks!

Re: Question for you knitters...
That's cute!
The pattern looks fairly easy, with the exception of the zipper (only b/c I have never done that before so I have no idea how hard it would be)
The yarn they recommend is fairly low cost-so that helps.
I would do a search on etsy for something similar to get an idea of how much someone might charge. Off the top of my head I would think $30-$40...maybe more if using more expensive yarn.
