older free patterns
Older free patterns are here, all written by me, Midnight Knitter (circa early 2000’s), for my old company kpixie and some just as blog posts way back then. I’ve converted all of these patterns to PDFs so they are easier to save. I have to admit, I wanted to update all of these! Many do not have gauge listed. They all have favorable reviews on ravelry.com so I’ll trust they are good enough for a free pattern.

What ever happened to the “larger” size of the cap sleeve t that you were going to put up? I love the smaller version and i remember back when you first put it up you told me that you’d have the adult version up soon. A knitting friend of mine said to me the other day “Look at this great pattern I’ve found but I’d die to have it in a grown-up size”. Guess which pattern it was? Yep, the cotton candy cap sleeve t. Small world. Anyway – just checking. Thanks!
midnight knitter
whoa, small world!
i never finished the adult version, i could put up the pattern but it hasnt been test-knit yet… maybe that should be my weekend project!

hi, just found your blog after seeing your lovely bag on knitty.
was searching through your patterns and the crocheted duck is the greatest thing i have ever seen..
my crochet isn’t great, but i would learn just so i could make it.
any chance of the pattern?
much love x
midnight knitter
Hi Sarah!
I wish i wrote down the pattern while making the duck, but i didnt, so no luck with getting that pattern up here… sorry!
Irma
Wow I love your works! Beautiful patterns… :)
I’m pretty new to knitting and I’d love to make the ‘sunglasses condom’, but could you tell me the gauge? I have left-over yarn that I’d love to turn into this and was wondering if I could substitute it. Thanks :)
midnight knitter
The gauge on the sunglasses condom is 6.5 sts per inch on US 3

I really like the Via Mala Rectangle Purse – – could you tell me what type of yarn that is – ie., bulky, extrabulky – i can never find big yarn:P.
midnight knitter
the Via Mala is a chunky yarn, 3.5 sts per inch on a US 10 needle.

I’m a little unclear on the lace cap pattern where it says “do not use and edge stitch.” Is that do not use AN edge stitch? Also, is the first / third decrease row (k2tog, k1) across? If not, wouldn’t k2tog across, k1 not work out with an even number of stitches? Thanks.

You are amazing, just came across your blog through Knitty and thought I would take a look! Wow! So glad I have an insight to the person that designs the patterns! I wish I could knit half as much as you do!! That would be the life!
Thank you!
Lynn

Hi, I absolutely love the “Claudia’s Project” with the flower crochet hat. I’ve been dreaming of making a hat like that for years! I’ve been trying it over and over, and I can’t seem to get the part where you ch1, and then sc into same ch, part correct. It gets really bulky and messy right there. Do you have any tips? Thanks so much! jt
Nadine
Thank you for posting all these awesome patterns – I have made your Twiggy Tweed, and the heartfelt purse.
I also LOVE that Jaeger purse and in fact have some in my stash, but the link to the pattern doesn’t seem to work – help!

Hi,
I just made your pink beginner’s hat, it turned out really nice, but i used a regular yarn that i had and used the j needle. The hat can fit a doll, how do i use the same pattern and the same yarn to make a hat for an adult. I used tlc worsted medium yarn. How do i make it bigger with the same yarn. I have two boxes of this yarn.
Thanks a lot for all your pretty patterns,
Rhea

Can you tell me what the symbol on the “Rock On” pattern signifies please. It looks interesting. I have only just found your website and am looking forward to chrocheting the Handy Cotton PouchPouch.Vera – UK

I think the crown idea is great. I work for a pediatrician who works with children with arthritis, and I think this would be something I could make to donate to his “treasure chest” and hopefully they work up quickly. I was thinking about stringing some sparkly beads into the pattern somehow, any clue how to do this, or would it be best to just sew them on afterwards? Thanks for the cute pattern.

I have crocheted a few of the kitty cozies, but my three cats are big (39 inches nose to tail tip and weigh in at around 18 pounds each). They love their cozies, but I had to really expand the pattern making them about 18 inches across. Do you have any suggestions for making it stronger or thicker? The sides are so soft that the cozy flattens out. Maybe using something like rug yarn? craft yarn? a very bulky, but light, yarn? I used 2 strands of worsted weight, but I have a loose tension. Open to suggestions. I loved the calendar. Thanks much!

Hello,
I really love your cloche hat and would like to give the knit pattern a try. New to knitting as I am, can I ask what might be a really stupid question: Is it knit flat or in the round?
Many thanks!
jeannette

jj
great site–just discovered you through an email link from sarah on about.com. i am interested in your spindle used for the hand spinning. i went to the icanspin.com site, but could not find the link for it. i have a wooden spindle purchased at claude moore farm park in va., but can’t seem to get it working right. i know i need more instruction. where did you get the video for learning to spinn? also, i’m interested in your koolaid dyeing. did you have a blog entry on what it looked like? i’ll have to look that one up too. have you ever tried some plant dyeing, i.e., with berries or such? thanks–love your blog and site. can’t wait to try some patterns!!

Have a quick question on the pup pattern.
After the rib, do you work 4 rows in stocking stitch and then increase?
Thanks for sharing this ;-)

Hi, I came across your site while searching for leg warmers. I loved your pattern. Thanks so much! Ran out to get some yarn to match the colors you used in yours. Well, I really should be using up my stash, but, haven’t bought any new yarn in a while. I also plan to make the mittenettes and kureyon skull cap soon!
Thanks!
