I’m collecting links to free patterns and will post them here. Assume that I have NOT tested these patterns unless I state otherwise.
If you have experience with a pattern, please contact me or make a note in comments and I’ll update the information or make a note.
Update – 30 April 2022 – For #sewfrugal22 I posted a video that focuses on free patterns from Canadian 🇨🇦 designers. Here is a link to the video, but I’m also noting the patterns below. If you have made any of these patterns, please drop a comment to share your experience!
Free patterns are an excellent way to be introduced to independent pattern designers. Through researching these patterns, I’ve found at least a few new-to-me designers that I will buy patterns from in the future. Please consider supporting these small businesses!

💋 Jalie Patterns | Èmilie Square Roll-neck top 🇨🇦 – I have made this top twice. It’s an excellent choice for a quick, cold weather sweater.
