Over the coming months and years several very generous designers will be donating free knitting patterns to the MSF p/hop project. The free patterns will be available for download here and on knitting blogs and websites such as, ravelry.com.
What is p/hop?
P/hop stands for pennies per hour of pleasure. As you are knitting your free pattern, ask yourself how many hours of pleasure it gave you. How many new techniques did you learn, for free? If you knitted from stash, how much did you save by not buying new yarn? What would all that be worth? What is the p/hop rating for what you just knitted? 10p an hour? 25p an hour?
There is no “set price” for a pattern. You can give 50p or £50 - it’s entirely up to you.
