One great place to start is at the websites of yarn companies. Knitting magazines, whether print or electronic, also keep free patterns at their websites. Thinking less commercially, keep in mind that wherever knitters gather, patterns will be shared. When searching community sites for knitting patterns, keep in mind that this takes a little more detective work than searching through pattern archives. Some of the best places to find patterns are direct from the designers on their blogs. Because most knit blogs are not famous, they take a little work to scout out.
Finally, directory sites can bring you lists of hundreds of free patterns online. Knitting - Learn to Knit - Knitting Patterns.
