Where can I find tatting patterns to try?

This page will contain links to blogs and websites that offer free tatting patterns. Many designers that sell patterns also offer free ones. When you are just learning it's fun to practice using many different patterns, plus it helps you learn more techniques and figure out what your style is. Once you get the hang of it and start making the things that you prefer most, please support your favorite designers by purchasing their patterns.

Even though they are free, patterns will not be posted directly because most of these creators only get compensation based on traffic to their sites, so please visit them directly. If any links stop working please let me know.
