Hand knitters have a wonderful resource in Knitting Pattern Central: an index of free hand knitting patterns, organized by category to make them easy to find. Unfortunately machine knitting patterns get lost in the fray. In an attempt to make up for that, here's our very own index of free machine knitting patterns available online. Eventually we'll add patterns of our own, too. It's a work in progress. If you spot a mistake or know of a free pattern for machine knitters that we're missing, please drop Linda a line on the address given on the home page. Thanks!

Newly added patterns will be marked with *new* for a week after being added
