Free Loom Knitting Patterns
From LoveToKnow Crafts
Anyone who has used a knitting loom knows there is more to do with these round wonders than just making hats. Still, most of the free loom knitting patterns you will find out there are for hats only.
I’m going to try to make up for that by posting all the loom knitting patterns I can come up with here in our section. Since I’m new to loom knitting I haven’t gotten very far on my own. Here are some resources from all over the web for free loom knitting patterns for you to check out in the meantime.
Knitting Loom Basics
Before you start hunting for free loom knitting patterns, you need to know that all patterns are designed for a particular size (and sometimes a particular shape) of knitting loom.
If you’re looking for a pattern to make with a particular sized loom (if you only have a large loom, for instance) it might be helpful to search for “large knitting loom patterns.” Once you start hunting for patterns you will discover there are many different projects, requiring many different looms. Looms may be more expensive than knitting needles, but having a variety of looms is akin to having needles in different sizes if you like regular knitting. So seek out patterns, even if you don’t have a loom to match, and buy yourself a new loom to reward yourself for something good.
Décor Accents
The next time I have some extra cash, I’m going to be placing an order at Décor Accents. They have all sorts of cool (and pricey) looms and rakes for just about anything you’d ever want to make, from hats to mittens to giant afghans and prayer shawls.
The site also has a wonderful collection of tutorials and free loom knitting patterns, most of which are made with specialty looms found on the site. This is a great site for loom addicts or people who want to dream about having infinite time and money to spend on loom knitting. (It’s a great place to build a holiday wish list from.)
Bev’s Country Cottage
Bev’s Country Cottage has a great collection of free loom knitting patterns, both original to her site and from around the web.
Most of these are patterns for babies and toy making, but there’s nothing wrong with starting small. These projects really can provide instant gratification!
Roberts Arts and Crafts
For a look at the wide variety of things that can be made by loom knitting, you’ve got to head on over to Roberts Arts and Crafts.
From stuffed animals to patriotic decorations, hats, scarves, pillows, slippers and shrugs, you’re sure to find something you’ll love to knit up here. All of these patterns come from Provo Crafts, the company that made the looms I bought.
Lion Brand Yarn
When you register on the Lion Brand Yarn website, you'll receive access to more than 1,200 free patterns, including free loom knitting patterns and free crochet patterns. Free podcasts are also available to help you improve your loom knitting skills.

I agree that it is very hard to find free Knifty Knitter patterns. I've had much better luck working from the Loom Crafts with Knifty Knitter book. As for the sweater, ProvoCraft has the only free pattern online that I've been able to find.
