I'm always on the hunt for free knitting patterns, and the keyword is definitely FREE. I don't want to pay even $0.99 for my patterns -- not when there are so many free patterns for knitting all over the place. And of course, I don't want YOU paying, either. So here are some great places to find free knitting patterns for any level. 1. In the stores I know I just said I don't like paying for patterns, and I don't. But often you find free knitting patterns just hanging beside the yarn. Ever stopped to look at these? Some of them are pretty nice. At any rate, it doesn't hurt to grab a leaflet and stick it in your knitting patterns folder. 2. Friends If you have friends who knit, they're the best source you could find of free easy patterns to knit. When you're just starting out, especially, it's nice to have someone who's "been there, done that" and can walk you through the pattern. 3. Online Obviously, I think I have one of the best collections of free knitting patterns online. But if you don't find something you love in my collection, there are literally hundreds of sites out there offering all sorts of free knit patterns. 4. The library Who thinks of going to the library anymore? Well, me for one! I always find fantastic free patterns for knitting by browsing the many craft books in my local library. Better still, some of them are seriously outdated, which means I can get cool vintage patterns for absolutely nothing. 5. Your family If you're like me and you love vintage knitting, check with Grandma to see if she has any old patterns stashed away. You parents might know too -- somewhere in that pile of Granny's old papers could be a treasure trove of free patterns. So if you love free knitting patterns, don't limit yourself: explore all of your horizons!
