20 Websites With Free Knitting Patterns


Never buy another knitting pattern again when you can get one for free from this list of 20 websites with free knitting patterns.

Once cooler weather starts settling in I get the urge to pick up my yarn and start on a new project. So tell me, where do you go when you need a knitting pattern? While in the past knitters had to search through magazines and books to find patterns for new projects, today we live in a different world. These days there are plenty of websites out there with knitting patterns, and best of all a lot of them are free. Yes, nobody likes to pay for a knitting pattern, and luckily for us we don’t have to. Today I’m sharing 20 websites where you can find not only free knitting patterns, but tutorials, too! Ready to save some money and find a great, new knitting project? Let’s go!

    You’re a ‘life-saver’!!! I went on-line looking for knitted sweater patterns for women and couldn’t believe that I couldn’t find any!! People couldn’t have ‘given up’ knitting sweaters, I thought!! I know it’s been a long time for me but, not ‘that’ long!! So grateful to find such a selection of sites to explore!! I want to start knitting my own sweaters again. The ‘quality’ of ‘store bought’ is no longer ‘there’ and they don’t have the selection I’m looking for. Good old ‘classic’ styles–that’s ‘me’!! Thank You!

      Yay! I’m so glad you found this post helpful. You’re right, the quality of store bought clothing isn’t what it used to be. I hope you find just the right classic style patterns you desire. Blessings! Christie
