Most freelance hobby artists - including myself - do not make enough in their side gig to have to declare it here though in my experience. Good for you that you do! Do you want to share a link?
Ofc you ask whatever price you want to but I only produce and sell stuff that I would have really liked to make anyway, personally, so yeah... I am willing to pay what I'd ask myself for things that I just happened to create and that'd make others happy as a bonus
The upper limit for legal hobbyverksamhet is quite low though. 20k sek in a year. Even at 200 an hour which is pretty meh you'd only be allowed 100 hours in a full year. 2 hours a week is definitely at a hobby level, but I don't think I have any serious hobby I spend that little time on.
True. Above 2h per week I think that it is more than just a hobby, it is a small business endeavor. Glad that you are so passionate about yours! :)
I draw/paint/sculpt/sew/croquet for my own sake (primarily) though and have a demanding full time+ job so I estimate that I spend 1 - 2 hours per week on my artistic side thingies. There's no real interest to make money so I basically only ask compensation for the materials used

You seem to be ignoring taxes in your calculation.
I would never charge less than 400 sek +vat for an hour's work. And you probably won't find any self employed swede that will.
At 400 I'm paying about half in taxes if I take it all as salary. But part of the cost usually goes to maintenance of tool and other long term costs.
