The time has come… I feel I have not shared enough free patterns. I must compete with @cryptocariad's clever tip of the free knitting magazine [Knitty](https://steemit.com/dlike/@cryptocariad/content-knittycom--winter-2018), @marblely's wonderful find of [expression fiber arts](https://steemit.com/dlike/@marblely/expression-fiber-arts) or with @muscara explaining the pattern base of [Drops](https://steemit.com/needleworkmonday/@muscara/needleworkmonday-drops-eng-ger). In my untiring attempt to ~~be admired and loved by absolutely everyone~~ serve the #needleworkmonday community I researched these beautiful opportunities of free or reduced patterns which last up to Christmas. <br>

**First the best:** [Elizabeth McCarten](https://www.ravelry.com/designers/elizabeth-mccarten)
Elizabeth McCarten designs a classical wardrobe with a broad variety of garments (hat, scarfs, cardigans, sweaters) which are often inspired by historical films and serials. Most designs have a feminine vibe and fit with a lot of ease. She is very fond of Shetland lace which lends her garments in my eyes a wonderful vintage vibe. Although I have still not dared to knit socks, I am highly tempted by her [Snakes and Ladder socks](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/snakes-and-ladders-socks)
You can find her patterns on [ravelry](https://www.ravelry.com/designers/elizabeth-mccarten) and they are currently for free! If you want to read more about her journey to create a handmade and sustainable wardrobe visit her [blog](http://chezlizzie.blogspot.com/) <br>
But to be honest, I did not research this opportunity, but my lovely fiber friend Lisa mentioned it to me :-D And [Lisa](http://www.pinenotes.com/) is not only a very lovely friend, she also has beautiful paid and free crochet patterns on [ravelry](https://www.ravelry.com/designers/lisas-pine-notes). I especially love her free [Elven hat](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/elven-tassel-hat) which is perfect for the Christmas season. <br>

<br>
So on to the next pattern opportunity: [Andi Satterlund](https://www.ravelry.com/designers/andi-satterlund)
Meanwhile you all know I am a bit obsessed with her [Miette](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/miette) now [Crumb pattern](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/crumb). But to be honest I am obsessed with all her patterns. Ok, perhaps I simply love her and want to transform myself into a look-alike. Yeah… I hear you laughing, as you already have seen photos of me – I would need major surgery. <br>

Back to Andi’s patterns. Not only has she designed a beautiful new cardigan with her typical tailored and vintage fit (but this time a long cardigan) she also offers to safe 20% on all of her [set-in sleeve patterns](https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/untangling-knots/3862496/1-25). But beware this discount only works on December 26th.
I am pondering to participate in her sweater KAL and make the [Sorcha cardigan](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sorcha-7) I never participated in a KAl and I am curious how it works (And ask myself if we should initiate something like a knit along on @needleworkmonday ?? I know my handmade outfit challenge is also still open…) <br>
So, I hope I could treat you to some free and beautiful patterns and perhaps you are inspired to choose one of them – if yes, please let me know :-D
