#FREE CROSS STITCH PATTERNS FREE#
Sadly, for every great place to get free patterns, you can also find ten that are not so great. We should note though, that you need to make sure they’re a quality retailer. These patterns are to the same standard as their other patterns, but they have an agreement with the designer to offer them for free. Major retailers such as Heaven & Earth Designs have free patterns on their site. Just because designers offer free patterns on their own websites, that doesn’t mean online stores don’t have free patterns as well though. You do need to have a favorite designer for this to work, but if you don’t right now, you can search any of the retailers out there for patterns you like and look up the designer (they should always be listed). We could list a whole raft of designers that choose to offer free patterns, but award-winning designers such as Caterpillar Cross Stitch and Tiny Modernist are on the list. The reason for this is that they’re either too small for a chargeable pattern, or they just want to get people onto their website. Whilst you can pick up a branded pattern from a whole host of retailers, designers often give out free patterns on their own websites. Slightly less specific is our suggestion to go to your favorite designers’ own websites.
