Highwayman Armwarmers

FREE PATTERN!

Pirate-Husband asked me to design “manly black armwarmers” for him to wear while riding, and explained that he needed something to close the gap between his leather jacket and his gloves. Cables were the first thing that came to mind…

Sibling Socks

FREE PATTERN!

This snugly-fitting ribbed sock design grew from a shortage of fine-gauge sock patterns. I was working with Trekking XXL to make a pair of socks for my sworn-brother Michael. When I swatched on size 0 needles, I got an gauge of 45 stitches to 4 inches…

Cakewalk Socks

FREE PATTERN!

These simple socks are a piece of cake to knit – thus the name! They fit snugly thanks to the ribs, and would make a great gift for anyone. The ribbing continues down the back of the heel flap, and there’s no break in the purl ‘gutter’ between the leg and the foot of the sock.

A disclaimer: I’ve done my best to ensure that these patterns are provided without error. However, I’m only human and sometimes the things that seem clear to me are actually clear as mud. If you have a problem with any of my patterns, please feel free to contact me and I’ll be happy to help.

My free patterns are totally free – you may make copies for your own personal use or to give away, but you may not sell copies of the pattern. You may sell the items you make provided that credit is given to the Knitting Pirate for the design. If you have any questions about what you can or can’t do with these patterns, please contact me.
