Free Knitting Patterns for Beginners

These knitting patterns are perfect for beginners!  There’s a famous saying that the expert in anything was once a beginner, and  I couldn’t agree more!  Remember that every knitter started with a single stitch, just like you.

So, if you’re feeling a bit intimidated as a beginner knitter, then I got you!  The easy patterns below will hopefully put your knitting fears to rest.  Each pattern is written to be clear and straightforward with lots of photos so that knitting beginners can follow along easily.  Some of the projects even have video tutorials to guide you through the stitches.  With each row that you knit, your confidence and abilities will grow.  And this will bring you closer to mastering the art of knitting.

The easy patterns below include knit scarves, dish towels, blankets, and shawls.

Each pattern will introduce you to a new knitting skill or technique, which will allow you to go beyond basic garter and stockinette stitch. You’ll be able to create something truly impressive that you can’t wait to show-off!

With all of that said, please don’t hesitate to dive in! Scroll through these beginner friendly knitting patterns and find the one that inspires you most.   All of the patterns below are shared for free on this site, making them easy for you to access and enjoy.
