Knitting and crocheting are great, creative hobbies and there are lots of free patterns available on the internet.

Whether you want sweaters, scarves, hats, gloves, socks or toys, the perfect free pattern is out there. This lens is a collection of links to free pattern websites, with some of my favorites highlighted.

Knit your own corgi

Create your own regal pooch with this free pattern

Knit your own corgi

This is one of the cutest free patterns I've seen in a while - it's from the book Knit Your Own Royal Wedding, and it tells you exactly how to knit your own royal corgi! All of the fun of pet ownership without the tedious poop scooping ;)

Chinese Waves Dish Cloth

Make waves in the kitchen with this free knitting pattern

The Chinese Waves knitting pattern (available free from Maggie's Rags) is easy enough to knit from memory once you've tried it a couple of times, and rapidly knits into attractive dish or face cloths.

Tessalating fish

A modular knit with a fishy theme

My current knitting project is tessalating fish - a modular knit that is great for using up odds and ends of yarn and turning them into... anything you want!

It's also a great pattern for beginners who want to practice increases and decreases.

Find the free pattern online at Knitting Arrows.

Modular knitting

Build up fabulous items without using a pattern by knitting modules - it's easy, quick and very funky!
