How much should I charge for a 12" x 12" latch hook rug I made? It cost me $8 to buy it, and it took me like..10+ hours to make it. How much should I charge in total?

Cause people are asking me to buy them, I don't know what price is good.

Since it is not your own design and it came with all the materials, you really should only charge for the cost of materials and maybe a little for your time. It's illegal to profit from copyrighted designs.

my OOAK clothing was based like this.....2 x's the material cost ....pattern ( even if I use the same one over and over ) needles, thread, cloth, and a few bucks for gas for when I went out to purchase materials needed...and then $5 to $15 an hour for every hour spent on construction and then there is the hanger, plastic cover and sometimes delivery.
50% up front non-refundable and allowing 2 weeks for delivery.
With a latch hook rug 12 x 12, no less then $100.00 and don't forget the presentation....either frame it or hang it from a wooden dowel....ask the customer how they want to use the rug and you prepare it to be shown for them like that.....this is how you will get your name/reputation for being good !!!!
good luck !!!

Had you been working in the factory, with labor in all, it should cost around $60, however, no one would buy it. try $14.99

It depends on the quality and the esthetics. If it is ugly, and of poor workmanship, you probably won't be able to give it away for free.
