Does anyone know where I can find some good crochet or knitting patterns for free?

Yes, I’m a man and I knit and crochet and I do not feel ashamed about it whatsoever!

I would like to find some good patterns for animals or maybe some doilies!

Some stores that sell crochet thread also have free leaflets of different patterns. In your search box, type in the word crochet and probably there will be plenty of sites listed that you can go to for patterns.

Check out Hobby Lobby’s web site, I just got several crochet patterns off their site.
As for animals and doilies, check out the knitting and crochet magazines at places like Barnes and Noble or your local drug or supermarket. Most magazines are no more than $5.99 and you get a variety of patterns to play with.

I read somewhere that knitting and crochet used to be “men’s jobs” ! Good on you!
This site has a load of patternlinks

One for knitting and one for crocheting.
Congrats on the yarn arts. My little sis’s boyfriend knits and crochet’s as well.
