Free Knitting Patterns for Beginners
When I returned to hand knitting from machine knitting, I was curious about different sweater construction methods. I researched some free instructions and I’m sharing what I found with fellow knitters!
In the beginning it can be a little frustrating to find any free information on the internet.There are so many knitting patterns out there and most of them have a price tag! It’s a little odd to see too many patterns and too many designers, because most of the construction methods are basic, and they just plug in some interesting stitches here and there.
It took me some time to realize that and on the process I bought a couple of patterns that I found really insteresting.But as I researched more, I found the bases of those designs too.
I will list some of the good resources that I found:
A really good resource for learning new sweater construction methods. The instructions are very basic, almost like as if an aunt wrote it down quickly on a piece of paper.So they’re not perfect, but you can adapt them according to your designs. It just gives an overall idea of the methods.
You can search for by gauge and construction style which is very convenient.
Some of the patterns that I tried are:
Morning hush
It’s a circular yoke with a nice fit, but I changed the stitch pattern to two color slip stitch and made it less wider.
Autumn Stripes Gloves
A basic gloves pattern. The only thing is that the fingers are a little bit tight so I added a stitch more in each finger.
