Finding a free knitting pattern online is not all that hard. There are several places that offer them, and they come in a variety of designs. But finding a free knitting pattern that also includes easy to understand instructions is something else altogether.

In some cases, when you find something that you like, you end up being disappointed because the technique needed to make the article is beyond your skill level or expertise. Or in some cases you may find that you need to use the English method and all you know is the Continental method. And often a free knitting pattern does not contain any illustrations to help you visualize what is needed. In any of the above scenarios, you end up putting the project aside or giving it away to someone else.

But it does not have to be that way. There are some places that offer a free knitting pattern that comes with detailed instructions to help you get the project finished and finished in such a way that you can be proud of the results. In fact, if done well, you may even feel confident enough to give the project to someone as a gift.

Ideally, what you would like to find is a place that starts with the basics and then moves on to the more advanced techniques. You would also want to find a place that shares illustrations with you so you can actually see what it is you are suppose to be doing. Of course, you also want to learn the various stitching methods so you aren’t caught unprepared should one of them come up. Sounds like a lot to learn, and if it isn’t presented in a logical and easy to understand manner, it can be a lot more to learn.

You can, of course, join a local circle, but that involves traveling to the group and hoping that someone in the group will take you under their wing and show you the various techniques and explain to you the things you do not understand. Another problem is that often they work on particular projects, and you are not able to do exactly what you would like to do until your turn comes up.

Another choice you have is to cut through all of that and just head for a website that contains all of the information you need in one place. Information that is easy to read, easy to learn, easy to execute. These places do exist, but they can be hard to find. Many of them only want to sell you a load of old materials that they have laying around and have no real interest in teaching you what you need to know.
