Free Knitting Patterns

Curated Free Knitting Pattern Collections

Whether you are just starting to knit or you are already an expert knitter, I hope you enjoy these free knitting patterns and projects in both modern and vintage styles.

It’s an eclectic collection of patterns that appeal to me for some reason or another; I love the history and continuity of knitting patterns passed on through generations, but I also have favourite new patterns to share here.

Grab a cup of tea and visit with me for a short time while we browse together for your next knitting pattern.
