Freebies on Other Sites

Lots of designers and companies offer a range of complementary charts for customers to experience the style and quality of their work - here is an (incomplete) list of places to check when you are searching for some free patterns. If you happen to know any other sources, please leave a comment below and I will add it to the list:

Please remember that free designs are NOT to be shared! Link back to the designers page as freebies are given to create more traffic to their sites and hopefully sales too (if they sell patterns) and sharing breaks copyright.

There are also lots of free patterns to be found on sites like deviantArt.

Please note that Pinterest is not a good place for legal patterns - unless the designer themselves posts the pattern it's probably stolen - or pinned well intentionally but shouldn't have been pinned - if you want to pin a pattern pin the picture of the stitched item not the pattern itself.
