Free Knitting Patterns

Free knitting patterns for the days when you want needles instead of a hook: blankets, scarves, hats, baby items and garments.

Plenty of crocheters knit as well, and the two crafts solve different problems. Knitted fabric drapes more softly and uses less yarn for the same area, while crochet is faster, holds structure better and is easier to undo and correct.

If you are a crocheter picking up needles for the first time, start with a garter stitch scarf. It uses one stitch only, and it teaches tension the same way a crochet scarf does. Back to free crochet patterns.
