Friday Freebies
Welcome to Friday Freebies here on Knitting Today!
Current Friday Freebie Of The Week
This week’s free download is a shawl knitting pattern: Wollness Crescent.
You can download the free shawl knitting pattern in the shop (or by clicking the link above the picture).
What Are Julia’s Friday Freebies And How Does It Work?
Every week, another free resource – one of my patterns, or another useful knitting resource – is available for free download. The free pattern (or resource) is made available on Fridays (sometimes Saturdays … or even later) and available for 24 hours after publication.
After the weekend, the download of the week is no longer available. Patterns and resources might appear as Friday Freebies again – or they won’t so make sure you don’t miss them!

Congratulations on finishing your exams! That’s an impressive feat.
Your Friday Freebies are always delightful. Your designs are unusual and lovely. Thank you so much for making them available!
Thank you for Friday Freebies and your wonderful patterns and tutorials. I love your work and when I am in search of a new project, I always look through my Julia Riede folder first. My computer hard drive died a few months ago, and, of course, I didn’t have everything backed up. If it wasn’t for your patterns and books being in my Ravelry library I would have lost them all. Phew! Catastrophe averted 🙂 BTW, There was no inconvenience from the Friday Freebie not downloading. You have always been quick to fix any issues, and this one was no different. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful patterns.
Phyllis 🙂
Thank you for your kind words! 🙂
Thank you very much! Allium fog is lovely!
Hello! I just downloaded the shawl The River and after reading the instructions, I have a question. Where are the instructions to make the festoon border (wavy border)? Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
please send an email to support at knitting dot today for pattern support questions. Thank you!
Hi just went through the process to download Marlene. The link I received says I don’t have permission to access the pattern.
The problem is fixed now. Thank you!
Thank you so much for making The Pretender shawl available for free! It’s so beautiful! I’ve downloaded it and glanced at the pattern and now deciding the color to make it in. By the way, I purchased your “Still in the Waiting Room” shawl book and I love it! It is fantastic! Thank you so much for everything you provide!
Thank you! <3
Julia, so sorry for your loss. Celebrate both your birthday and Steve’s memories this year. He was so young, but he left quickly. I’m 72, married 53 yrs, to an awesome man. Vietnam Veteran with Agent Orange. I watch him suffer and die a little more each day without a complaint. You and I are blessed to have had them both for a brief time. Celebrate with all you have.
Hi. I have been trying to download this pattern since April 8 and have been unsuccessful.
Try just opening it, not downloading to your computer. If you can open, then do a “save as” to your computer.
This post just appeared on my Facebook feed. I missed it with the way Facebook puts the posts in whatever order they feel like I guess. In any event, I’m really sorry I missed his free pattern as I love the color red and the pattern is gorgeous. Unfortunately I cannot afford to purchase it either.
lovely shawl, thank you!
take care
cristina
Happy Christmas Julia
Enjoy your break with your family.
Take care & God bless
Winifred
Julia, words cannot adequately convey how sorry I am to hear of your loss. You are a remarkable, strong woman and you are greatly appreciated.
My deepest condolences on the loss of Steve. This was such a terrible, sudden shock for you, and I’m grateful your family is with you. My only sibling died at just 57, also from a heart attack, and if it is any comfort to you at all, it helped me to remember his quick death was what we’d want for people we love even while extremely hard for those of us left behind. Take care of your own broken heart.
Take care of yourself and your family Julia. Everything else can wait.
God bless.
Sorry about your loss. As a knitting man, I’ll have a special thought when I knit this shawl for myself.
I’m so sorry for your loss. May the love and comfort of your family help through this difficult time. You and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
As an admirer of your energy and creativity I am wishing you all the best in this sad time. Be well.
I am praying for you, dear one, in this season of loss and sending my deepest sympathies.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad that you are with family. Thank you for your time.
Sending heartfelt hugs. Thank you for the pattern in memory of your husband. <3
Hi Julia, I have a question on Aegean Sea. On the First Half set up You have written repeat the last two rows 8 times more. Are you referring to rows 3 & 4 ?? I can’t determine where Row 5 comes in
I simply love this pattern
Shirley
Hi Julia,
First of all, congratulations on everything you have accomplished — you are such an inspiration!
I purchased the Vogue magazine, here in Vancouver Canada — I am thrilled for you to be recognized on the International Stage!
Thank You so much for the patterns you have shared — one of my favourites is “Ester” — I think I have knit it more than a dozen times — in different weights and colours — always fabulous!
Best Wishes and Happy Fall!
Cheers, Susan
Thank you! <3
HI Julia,
I just want to congratulate you on your tests, knitting those beautiful shawls AND…..especially being featured in Vogue!!
You certainly belong with them, you design such gorgeous creations that everyone loves.
Best wishes and have a wonderful month!!
Happy Knitting, Lauren
Thank you <3
Wonderful shawl. Keep studying. Don’t know how you do it all. Congratulations on the publication.
I have been sick and havent been on the computer in a couple weeks, and i got on today, to try to catch up i missed a download of a pattern i dearly want its of the rebecca shawl, any way i can still get this pattern for free?
No, I’m sorry.
Julia as usual, you’ve outdone yourself on this latest shawl, “Marlene.” Absolutely breathtaking!!
Beautiful Shawl. And thanks for the continued Friday Freebie. Very generous of you. But this one is a beginner and I’m excited to try it.
Hi Julia,
Just wanting to wish the best of luck with your medical exams that are coming up so fast now.
Have confidence in your abilities and if you ever would like to have a patient with multiple illnesses, I’m here for you. My current diagnosis is Primary Generalized Dystonia, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, CRPS and a Secondary Generalized Dystonia due to the CRPS. I’m fully bedridden but still an avid knitter. It takes my mind of the pain and I have not been able to find a better painkiller yet.
All in all, the best of luck with your studies and exams! And thank you for all the wonderful information you give to the world of fiber-enthusiasts!
Wth love from the Netherlands,
Wanda
Aaaaargh, just saw the missing i in the last With….
Thank you so much for your kind words, Wanda! We’ve never met in person but online before, and I’m sure you are coping in a good and helpful way with your health issues. Knitting is a gift and better than any medication, at least – sometimes. All the best dear!!
Julia what is the current “Friday Freebie”? It isn’t the Stashy Josephine but the link goes there. Thank you.
Vickie, Friday Freebies are free only the day the weekly email is sent out, and 24 hours after that.
Wishing you the best with your medical exams. I’m sure you will do very well. Thank you for continuing to create and share beautiful patterns throughout your studies.
Thank you!
Good luck with your exams!

Dear Julia,
When I clicked to get the Persia Green Shawl on Friday, it did not say free. I’ve had problems with the website before and thought it was my computer or software. I wrote you about possibly sending it to me. I hope that is okay.
Barb, the pattern is free for 24 hours after publication. I’ll check my emails immediately.
Wonderful looking shawl. Thanks so much for providing so many “freebies”.
Ah, ok,.. I have had a busy few days and didn’t pick up on your email until Sunday. Well, if I decide to knot my daughter her namesake shawl I will be right back for the patern! It may be a nice late summer project. 🙂
Thanks again for all! Your patterns really are delightful. 😀
Hi!
I went to the Friday freebie listed on my email this week, but it isn’t available. I thought it was available for a week. Was I wrong? It is a shame, as my daughter’s name is Esther and I was thinking it would be a nice idea to knit her a shawl with her name!
Can I say that I do very much appreciate your Friday freebies – it is lovely of you to be so generous and thank you so much for them! 🙂
Thank you! The Friday Freebies post (the one with the link to the pattern) explains how it works: the pattern is free to download for 24 hours after I send out the weekly Friday Freebies email. Usually I send out the update Friday evening localtime (GTM+1) and reset the shop on Sunday.
The video is Just Fine! Sorry someone was impatient and unkind, ( actually insulting), in their remarks! I’ll say again, as in face book, you are Very generous to share your beautiful work with us all out here in the Internet world! I’d be upset too! If anyone took the time to look they’d see you have had a difficult go of it these last few months…awake folks! Thank you for following up on all you do for us out here! Sincerely appreciating your generosity!
It does not work,- I can not download your free pattern !!!!!!>……..
I even made a youtube video helping you in the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUIB75ogf3Q&feature=youtu.be
Maybe watching it helps you download the PDF successfully.
Very beautiful! Thank you!!
At first: Happy New Year! It is legal still because only January 2nd. Alle the love and happiness and luck for you this year Julia. Including your studies.
I wanted to download Susanne but it is still marked as a paid (5 quid) pattern.
Usually I don’t download each and every free pattern but this one really spoke to me, Can you help me out?
Wanda, thanks and it is again marked as paid pattern because the timeframe where it is free is over – sorry! Only 24 hours after the email, as every week … but as we know each other well I’ll send you an email with the pattern within the next days (as soon as I’m finished being busy with my morning sickness!)
such lovely pattern and such a generous gift. Thankful appreciation and positive energy sent to you in this new year,
Another beautiful free pattern. Thank you so much!! ♥

thank you so much!
Note the email date (today) and the date on my computer (Nov. 20-SUNDAY)…

Lovely shawl!!!
But I didn’t receive the notification email until Sunday morning, so guess I’m out of luck.
I’ve given up on getting the Rebecca shawl from last week…I filled out the form 3 times, but have never found the ‘confirm your email’ in either my inbox or my spam box. I don’t know what else to do.
Is friday. Will see …
This design is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you!
This doesn’t work.
Thank you for the beautiful pattern!
I tried downloading it twice yesterday (Friday) by filling out the form, and once again today, but it has not arrived in my inbox or my spam box. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rebecca
There is no form anymore. The Friday Freebie is set to $0.00 in the shop on Fridays.
Thank you for the beautiful pattern! I’m in the middle of another now but I have some gorgeous yarn that will work nicely.
Why is so difficult to me get your beautifull work!, freebies???
I am having a difficult time too… fill out the forms but do not receive any ‘confirm your email’ replies.
There is no form anymore. The pattern is set to $0.00 in the shop on Fridays and stays free for at least 24 hours, but usually until Sunday.
I have done this twice yesterday and I am not getting the link to confirm.
Idid this last week but, it failed last week, too.
This is a gorgeous pattern (The Life of a Tree) ,and I would love to knit it up, but I have tried twice (yesterday – Friday – and today – Saturday) and I don’t get the email. This used to work for me, but it failed last week, too. I’ve been signed up for your newsletter for weeks now and I have checked my spam mailbox as well. Has something changed recently?
Sue, the Friday Freebie is set to $0.00 in the shop shortly after the email is sent out. It’s available for a minimum of 24 hours after but no longer than 48 hours. So usually, the pattern is free until Saturday evening local time (CET).
Well, I never got The Life of a Tree, but I was able to get this week’s freebie with your explanation. I tried first to re-sign up for your newsletter as this *used* to work, but never got the email. I was able, however, to download the pattern from the shop. Thank you for your beautiful patterns.
Thanks for the shawl pattern, it’s just beautiful.
I got the email on Friday 30 september and opened it inmediately. But I got a pattern from a shawl called Colour Blocking I with a 3 colour shawl pattern but no the free pattern White Atlantic.
I have trouble too/ I confirmed my email address but didnt get the White Atlantic free pattern 🙁
The pattern is free on the day the email is sent out only (and usually, the day after) – on FRIDAYS. You need to download the pattern on the day on or after the email has been sent to get it for free.
I am having trouble too.
I confirmed my mail but didnt get the pattern.
Im still waiting for it 🙁
The pattern is free on the day the email is sent out only (and usually, the day after) – on FRIDAYS. You need to download the pattern on the day on or after the email has been sent to get it for free.

Beautiful, hope to make sometime in my lifetime. Thank-you for sharing this pattern with us,
The normal form to fill in to receive the Friday freebie is missing and I’ve tried multiple browsers in both mobile and desktop styles without luck so I can’t get this weeks freebie. I’ve never had this happen before. I hope this can be fixed so I can receive this pattern it’s so beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful. So intricate, it’ll be a challenge for me when I tackle it! Thank you so much!
Hello Julia ! thanks, I receive the Complete Guide to Crescent Shawl (with perfect explanations 🙂 .. BUT I can’t find the pattern for the S-Shape Shawl … I filled all the infos … ?? Thanks for your help bczz it’s just the one I would like 🙂 Spring in NZ 🙂
Thank you for the pattern.
It may help people to know to use Chrome to confirm their subscription each time they want to download a free pattern from you. I tried it with Firefox and the window opened up with the address in the bar, but the page wouldn’t load. I had no problem with Chrome. It took 3 minutes for my confirmation email to arrive.
I have tried several times to get the pattern. I filled out the info and it said check my email, no email and not in my spam.
Got it, it took over 10 minutes for the confirmation to arrive. Thank you for the lovely pattern
Great patter s
I love your Friday freebies
This week’s free download is what? Under the sock picture it says “you can download this free shawl knitting pattern” and sure enough I ended up with a shawl download. Please let me know when the sock pattern is available.
Thanks, I corrected that typo.
Confirmed but never got the email to download.
No, you didn’t confirm. The system tells me you got the confirmation email on Aug 06 at 11:33am but it’s still unconfirmed.
There is no form on the page for me to fill out to get the free pattern
You might need to use a different browser, I’m sorry.
Hi Julia, i have subscribed for your newsletter and got an email with a surpise link for the shawl royals. How can i get the Friday Freebie shawl Stashy Josephine?
I´ve filled in the form and it was successful, but there is nothing in my emails or in the spam folder. What can i do?
Thank you ….
your shawls are so beautiful.
You need to fill in the form in the Friday Freebies post, not the general one.
I’ve been looking for the Lana Grossa yarn for this Stashy Josephine pattern, but so far I can only find it as 100% merino not merino silk blend. Can you help direct me where to find it. Thank you, I love your patterns you so generously share
I’m clearly missing something. Have entered the info in the form several times, and been told to check my email/junk folder. Have done so, confirmed my address twice (and deleted the rest- seemed a bit much at 6.) Still no luck downloading the pattern. Can anyone help me please?
Your email address is in the system and confirmed – you should have been prompted with a download when you confirmed your email address.
I, too, have been unable to receive the Friday Freebie. Would you please investigate further? My spam folder is empty and I have not received the lovely sock pattern. Thank you.
You did not confirm your email. The confirmation email was sent on Aug 06 at 12:15pm.
Thanks for your generosity! Lovely shawl!
Thanks for this lovely pattern … my scraps are queuing up wanting to be incorporated in one of these!
On the actual pattern, after casting on 3 sts and knitting 1 row, the pattern reads:
Next row: sl1, YO, ktbl.
Next row: knit to last st, p1.
As this only accounts for 2 sts, should the pattern simply begin with the next 2 rows:
Next Row: sl1, YO, k to last st, ktbl.
Next Row: knit to last st, p1.
Thanks, Norma … aka mabear in New Zealand
How long does it take to get the email? It says I was successful and to check my email, but it’s been over 10 minutes since I submitted my name and email address and I still don’t have an email.
It’s sent out immediately. Please check your spam folder, it might have ended up in there accidentially.
I have done this twice and I am not getting the link to confirm. Gorgeous shawl!
Please check your spam folder!
I cannot find the free shawl? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
You have to fill in the form shown on the Friday Freebie page and confirm your email address.
Thanks…… lovely pattern as usual !!!
Congratulations on your new name.
Thank you! The name name is actually pronounceable … that’s why I changed it primarily.
absolutely lovely shawl pattern .. thank you so very much
My pleasure!
hi, i rec’d this free pattern on friday, but unfortunately didnt have chance to download for free, due to working late hours. It is sunday, is this still available as free? or do you have to download only on friday’s? thanks you, cathy
Cathy,
the pattern is free until Saturday evening local time (CET).
Thanks Julia for the pretty Clara shawl pattern!
Best wishes for your up-coming exams. I always wonder how you accomplish so much! You are a wonder to me.
Cheers,
Lynn Beall
