Safe at Home with Free Knitting Patterns
As we adapt to a new (temporary) way of life, we’re reflecting on the good. In crises, our humanity has a chance to shine through in so many ways. Generosity of spirit is evident as so many designers have shared their paid patterns for free during this trying time! I’ve collected 100+ free knitting patterns to share.
Notes
Things are evolving daily. Be sure to review your cart upon checkout to be sure the codes are still valid. Share any expirations in the comments and the post will be adjusted accordingly.
If you have a design that you are freely sharing because of COVID-19, please contact holly@atyarnslength.com to have it included. Thank you!

Stillwater Designs does need a coupon code: justkeepknitting
I found out when I tried to checkout and it was going to charge me, so I looked on her ‘portfolio’ and it’s at the bottom. Good til 3/31/2020.
Holly
Thank you! I’ll update it now.

HI , Most of these coupons have expired 🙁 but I thank you so much for providing links to new artists so I can look at their items
Holly

Sherri Sagers
Hi Holly – Just thought I’d share a new nurse outfit that I designed in honor of the caregivers. It’s free with the coupon code “caregiver” (without the quotes) on Ravelry through this link: https://www.ravelry.com/redeem/painted-cricket?code=caregiver.
I’m also still offering a coupon code for any one pattern from my collection by using the coupon code “corona”as well – to get an animal to go with the nurse outfit. 🙂 https://www.ravelry.com/designers/sherri-sagers
Holly
Thank you so much for sharing! The classic nurse outfit is adorable!
Britney

Holly
Thanks, Britney! And please let me know if you run into any expired codes. I’m keeping the designers on the page (at the end) so that when this is all over, we can throw some love back their way.
Alicia
Hi Holly. Thank you so much for such a variety of patterns. Best Wishes Shawlette code is expired, unfortunately.
