How to Find Free Knitting Patterns Online
-
Drops Design (Garnstudio): A treasure trove of free patterns ranging from socks to cardigans. While some designs may feel a bit dated, the extensive library of basics is unmatched. Plus, patterns are freely downloadable.

Ravelry: A must-visit platform for any knitter. Though it can be tricky to navigate at first, it’s an excellent resource for free patterns and trying out new techniques.
-
Yarn Brands’ Websites: Many brands like Bergère de France, Phildar, Wool and the Gang, and Hobbii regularly offer free patterns. The selection evolves, so check back often!
-
Follow Designers on Social Media: Many knitwear designers post calls for pattern testers. By participating, you can get access to free patterns while contributing valuable feedback. For example, we, the Knit Sisters, frequently seek testers for upcoming patterns—check out our website to join!

Right Here on Knit Sis: We offer three free patterns for download directly on our site. Want more? Subscribe to our newsletter for future additions, including cozy basics like mittens, hats, and balaclavas.
