HoneyBee

Free Sweater Patterns

Free crochet and knitting sweater patterns in sizes that fit real bodies. HoneyBee catalogs free pullover and sweater patterns from designers across the web, each linking to its free source. Sweaters are the milestone garment project — top-down seamless, worked in panels, or chunky and quick — and the payoff is a handmade piece you'll actually wear. Filter by craft, difficulty, and yarn weight, and always check the gauge and finished measurements on each pattern. Bulky-weight sweaters work up fastest and are the friendliest starting point; fingering-weight designs are slower but drape beautifully. Every pattern lists the designer and community ratings.
