Knitting: Favourite Free(!) Patterns

[estrellas]

Curious what people's fave free patterns are. Don't have to be baby specific. 

Here are are a few of mine:

• Puerperium Cardigan by Kelly Brooker, great button-up-the-side baby sweater. She makes a paid expanded version.
• Bigger On The Inside : Doctor Who scarf, but a different take than the "traditional". I haven't knit it yet, but a friend has just custom-dyed me some alpaca in a gorgeous TARDIS blue, so it's up in queue for when that yarn arrives!
• ... Pretty much anything from "The Simple Collection" done by Tin Can Knits.

I loved knitting DD's pinwheel sweater (great for babies-toddlers, lasts at least two winters if you knit the sleeves long enough). There are several other free versions (for adults, for different weight yarns, there's a crochet version, too).

The two summers dress is fun for a super quick knit that combines a little sewing/fabric.

Cabled baby bib was so cute on (I'll even PIP a pic of DD in hers in a sec) and a really fast knit/good way to use up cottons.

The simple baby bib goes even faster.

I looove Maile- DD was already almost 6mo when it came out or I would've made a bunch! I only knit for a very select portion of the family, and all they're turning out is boys. The first girl is getting one, for sure.

Bonus crochet for baby girls- super cute, super quick, little dress/pinafore. I made a few (the blue one on the cover page is mine, be really careful about saying "yes" to being featured on a pattern's home page, I get SO MANY QUESTIONS about this pattern-LOL). Angel Wings Pinafore

Here's baby DD in the modern baby bib- I made a few, I loved it so. Much better than the crappy store bought bibs we had, and they washed up great.

I just started Oats from Tin Can Knits for myself and finished the Snowflake Sweater for my daughter!  That one isn't free, but I love their patterns.  I asked for the Pacific Collection for Christmas and can't wait to knit all of it!

I was on a mitten kick recently.  Here are two favorite free mitten patterns:
Toddler Daycare Mitts: perfect for toddler hands 2+
Bella's Mittens:  mittens inspired by Bella from Twilight.  For cold ladies, or TwiHards.  Ha!

I love all these! Other than Sunnyside, which we've already talked a bunch about, I don't really have any favourites... But I do have a tip! If your local library is anything like mine, it will have dozens of knitting, crocheting, quilting, etc books full of patterns. Mine even gives free access to magazines like Interweave Knits through Zinio. I was reminded of this recently, so thought I would pass the reminder along.

I'm a big fan of Frankie Brown, and her 10 stitch patterns: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ten-stitch-blanket

I love the baby Vertebrae. I bought some self striping yarn specifically for it. Need to add that to my queue.
