The Free-Penguin Project

Make your own Tux! The Free-Penguin Project believes that the "the code to compile a soft toy penguin" should be open source just like Linux.They provide a free sewing pattern and instructions to whip up your own personal penguin. Here is an example of what someone else made with the pattern. I just wish I had the patience to sew by hand…

Free Pattern: Amigurumi Bear Pattern

Here's an exceptionally cute Bear Pattern, that even comes with instructions for the scarf:) It's free, but if you want to do the author a favor, buy it at her etsy shop (for only $0.50) to help increase her feedback/stats. 

Free Pattern: TiChi Dog Pattern

Aww, I love this life-like chihuahua pattern. The website also has patterns for different dog sweaters to dress it (or a real dog) with. I especially like the t-shirt and jeans pattern! 

Free Patern: Crochet Teddies and Bunnies

Yes! I have the Japanese amigurumi books, and for the most part can get the gist of the charts. But for one pattern, the legs and arms are crocheted all together (rather than separately and sew on). I just couldn't figure it out, but I think these cute Crochet Teddies and Bunnie will help me understand the concept better. Plus, they are cute to boot!  

Free Pattern: Amigurumi Banana

I’m not even going to say anything about this being yet another food pattern. Oops, I just did…. Well, I happen to like bananas, so there!

Edit: fixed link AGAIN (2008)!

Free Pattern: Cutest Frog EVER

I think this is the cutest amigurumi frog pattern I have ever seen! I am so happy people post their amazing creations for all to use and enjoy. Which reminds me, I need to go back to my old creations, remember how I did them and post a pattern….

Free Knitting Pattern- Garter stitch Kitty

While I wouldn’t call myself a ‘knitter’ I still know how to knit. It just hurts my elbows for some reason! The motions of knitting really aggravates my carpal tunnel. However, I’m willing to risk the pain for this adorable Knitted Kitty.

She is constructed out of very simple shapes, so even a beginner can whip her up. I like her so much, I might try to make a crochet version some day!

Free Sewing Pattern: Pointy Kitty

I am so tickled by this kitty by WeeWonderfuls! He is so darling, I’m thinking I need to clear off my table and lug out my ‘ol sewing machine again. I know I could hand sew him, but I try to avoid hand sewing at all times. I need to go back to the parent’s house and dig though my fabric stash to find the perfect print. I wish I had my sewing room here at college… *sigh*

Free Pattern: Sea Turtle Soap Saver

While I’m not a big fan of the ’soap saver’ idea (bacteria likes to grow in ‘em), I do think this Sea Turtle Soap Saver is rather cute. My father is a big fan f both turtles and rocks, so placing an interesting rock inside might make the perfect gift. I just have to buy some green yarn!

Free Pattern: Seal Ornament

This seal is cute ornament, but I’d like to make it just because! It reminds me of seeing seals on the beach as a child. Their eyes just made me melt… I love the whiskers on this seal, I think it is the perfect touch. I’ve never though of using brush bristles as whiskers, but I’ll have to use that trick some time.
