Welcome here

Hi, I’m Diane. I gather free knitting patterns from designers all over the web, check each one, and send you straight to their pages.

Every pattern I list has to be free, complete and a true fit for the roundup it sits in. I open each page myself before it goes in.

New to knitting? My stitches guide is a friendly first stop.
