15 Completely Free Printable PDF Sewing Patterns for Knit Fabric. Easy Step-By-Step Tutorials Perfect for Any Skill Level. Sizes Include Baby, Toddler, Children, Preteen, Teen, Adult, and Adult Plus.

Are you on the hunt for free sewing patterns for knit fabric? Good news! You’ve come to the right place.

I’ve rounded up all of my favorite sewing patterns that are completely free to help you on your knit sewing journey!

15 Completely Free Printable PDF Sewing Patterns for Knit Fabric. Easy Step-By-Step Tutorials Perfect for Any Skill Level. Sizes Include Baby, Toddler, Children, Preteen, Teen, Adult, and Adult Plus.

Each tutorial features a step-by-step tutorial filled with helpful tips and tricks to guide you along the way. Many of the tutorials also include video instructions which are helpful if you're new to sewing with knit fabric.

I have a variety of projects for every skill level. Whether you're a brand new beginner sewist or an experienced seamstress looking for a challenge, you'll find the perfect pattern just for you!

In this blog post, you’ll find 15 different patterns with sizes for babies, toddlers, children, preteens, teens, and adults.

For the majority of these patterns, I recommend using 4-way stretch knit fabrics.  

I recommend shopping for knit fabric from Raspberry Creek Fabrics. This is my one-stop shop for high-quality knit fabric with the cutest custom prints! 

*Be sure to double-check the type of fabric in the drop-down menu on the fabric listing when shopping. Fabric is sold in 1/2-yard increments.

Four Way Stretch Fabric means it has stretch in both directions. This is ideal for creating comfortable-fitting clothing with patterns that have negative ease.

The following FOUR-WAY STRETCH fabrics from Raspberry Creek Fabrics are some of my favorites.

  • Cotton Spandex Jersey
  • Cotton Spandex French Terry
  • Organic Cotton Spandex Jersey
  • Bamboo Cotton Spandex Jersey
  • Double Brushed Polyester
  • Athletic Performance Knit

    These are all fabulous ideas! I have a sneaking suspicion we will be seeing the circle skirts with a wider waist band w/short hem that were popular in the late 90's early 00's. You used to be able to make them from t-shirts. I am going to try and adapt the pattern above and see how it comes out!
