Best of Pinterest - Free Knitting Winter 2019



Here are ten winter finds I discovered on Pinterest that actually follow through to real, free knitting pattern links.  Many of the legit Pinterest "free patterns" I find come from Ravelry, so I highly recommend any serious knitter create a free account.

The Chalice by Karen S. Lauger

BABY BLANKETS!!!  Because I LOVE babies.  I already have a couple of special lace blankets knit up and awaiting a potential future grandchild.  😂 But seriously, The Chalice by Karen S. Lauger is a must try.  After all...there will always be babies in need of some snuggly comfort!  💕  I particularly like the way the color flows in Lykkefanten's version, as pictured.


Knitted Elf Slippers by Craft Foxes

Look, I did not do a test knit on the pattern to make sure it is well done...but these slippers look too fun to NOT try.  Besides, after 19 years of knitting, it is the process I care about...much more than the product.  This however, might just be THE product to boast come Christmas this year.  Hmmmm...which lucky candidate will get these elf slippers under the tree???


Paulina Dress by Taiga Hilliard Designs

Do NOT tell Matt, but this little number has me half-tempted to try for number 5...just so I can see my baby wearing it.  😉😂  Ok, ok...I'm not THAT crazy.  I will settle with knitting this little baby dress for someone ELSE's baby!  But you can bet it will be someone really precious to me!  So sweet.

Parson Brown (a snowman) by Emily Ivey

How adorable is THIS little snowman Christmas ornament?  I am envisioning a few gifts under my Christmas tree this year.  What a delightfully fun little free knitting pattern!  I can't wait to give it a try.



Peek-a-Boo Tee by Knifty Knittings

The Peek-A-Boo Tee - Free knitting pattern and tutorial from www.kniftyknittings.com! #knitting #knittingpattern #freepattern

What a lovely little gem.  What a great-looking tee knitting pattern.  I love the simple stockinette design and the subtle peek-a-boo shoulder.  It has a classic taste, and the cotton yarn is a great choice.  I will definitely have to knit one for me!

Autumn League Pullover by Two of Wands

I love raglan, and this is just too pretty to pass up.  A good color change in the sleeves and color might just give this sweater the baseball look I need.  😉⚾  I am always amazed when I find a free sweater knitting pattern.  How generous!  Thanks Two of Wands!

Sweaters for purse-size tissue packets

Because...#winter.  And also...#aging.  I am to the point where I don't go anywhere without tissue.  This free knitting pattern is a simple stash buster and would make a great small gift.  I have already finished the knitting portion on my first tissue packet sweater, and I am ready for sewing it up!  It should be keeping tissues clean in my purse by next week.  Yahoo!

The Child by Angela Foltz

As far as I am concerned, Angela Foltz is a genuis, life-saver...because 1) We are ALL hooked on The Mandalorian 2) We ALL - particularly 6yo Evan - LOVE baby Yoda 3) Even though we have already pre-ordered him The Child "baby Yoda" plushie, Disney has epically failed us by not having them ready until May.  (March if you believe the news.)  So...in the meantime, I'd better thank Angela for being so creative, talented and generous...and get these knitting needles to work.  Angela...I know we've never met, but...I owe you one.  Thank you for the free baby Yoda knitting pattern.  May the Force be with you.  ;) #starwars

Baby Yoda Hat by Shinah Chang

And while we're at it...I'll definitely have to make him a Baby Yoda Hat.  Wish I'd had this for the release of The Rise of Skywalker.  He wore a jedi suit, but he was Baby Yoda in heart.



Knitted Scrunchie by Rosie Is Making Things

© Rosie Is Making Things


Last but NOT least...Rosie has just earned a new fan!  I found this great free knitting pattern for a scrunchie, and I duplicated it to make a scrunchie to match Eden's Sweater.  I think I had it done in about 3 hours of knitting combined over the week??  Maybe less.  Regardless...it was done in time to add a little stuffer to Eden's stocking.  And since Xander was the last one to wear Eden's sweater, I'm guessing the scrunchie might get multiple shares, as well.  FYI...I used Loops and Threads Impeccable yarn, size 9 dpn and cast on 15.  (My gauge tends to be loose.)

Now THAT'S a perfect 10, if you ask me.  Happy Free Pattern Knitting!

Harry Potter Knitting Patterns - Free

Well, I finally fell onto the wagon.  I have fallen in love...with Harry Potter.  Honestly, after finishing the series, I don't know why it took me so long.  My darkest fears of being snatched into the sacrilegious, have been completely eradicated.  In fact, I've stumbled upon many embedded biblical themes in the magical, albeit fictional, world. I have to admit, I'm glad I saved the series for now.  This year is the exact year that I desperately needed to escape into an amazing fictional world...to leave behind my own challenges, triumphs and heartbreak, for a bit, and enter into someone else's. Harry's world has given me respite, and more...many new things to knit!  Here are the best (and most realistically worth my time) Harry Potter Knitting Patterns - Free I have found. Harry Potter Knitting Patterns - Free 1.   Hogwarts Scarves Knitting Patterns by Studio Knit Studio Knit provides a lovely Free Gryffindor Scarf Knitting Pattern tutorial.  The

Star Wars Knitting Patterns - Free

A Knitting Blog by Kristen Shanna Rogue One Hat by Mrs. Luedeke © Mrs. Luedeke LLC I love the colors in this Rogue One Hat knitting pattern, and since my husband happens to be a huge Star Wars fan, I may just have to make this one.  It is provided free of charge on Mrs. Luedeke's lovely blog.  I couldn't help but peruse the site a bit to find the knitting pattern for that adorable Pokemon Go hat she is modeling on her main page.  I may have to link that in another blog...super cute...and another popular theme around this house. Space Princess Hat by Fiber Flux © Jennifer Dickerson I have to be honest.  I have a tendency to turn up my nose at anything faux.  I would always rather have the natural - the real thing.  I favor all things genuine. (Did I ever mention that I used to pretend I ground my own grain to make those microwaveable chimichangas that sustained me through my childhood?  So odd...I know.  That's just my nerdy interpretation of fun.  I als

Eden's Sweater - Free Knitting Pattern

Some people like to plan carefully and get things right the first time.  I am impatient, and I just want to knit.  So, when my daughter asked me for a sweater.  I just dove right in.  Here's the thing.  I don't really know how the yarn will fall until I try things out.  And I am 20 years in on this whole knitting thing.  I long ago realized I am WAY more into the process than the product.  So, I don't mind ripping out and starting over until I get it right.  I mean...immediate frustration upon realizing I've knit for about 8 hours and it's not going to work is imminent.  But then, I just shake it off and remind myself, "Well, that just means more knitting for me!" And, oh.  That's a good thing. This project started out as a request.  My 14 year old daughter wanted a sweater.  Now, I have just about had it with requests from my kids.  Because I have knit an untold number of items that were seldom used.  That is ever so frustrating. And I&#
