If you're a regular at Suite101.com, you know that one of my favorite things is finding free cross stitch patterns. Here's how you can find some freebies yourself.
Search Engines There are several search engines that can help you. One of my favorites is Google. Other popular search engines are Yahoo!, AltaVista, Dogpile, Infoseek, and Lycos. Most of these sites work similarly. There will be a place for you to enter your "search string" or "keywords". These are simply the words describing what you are looking for. In our case, you could enter "free cross stitch patterns" or "cross stitch freebies", "free cross stitch charts" or "free charts"+"cross stitch". It does make a difference if you put your keywords in quotes. When not using quotes, the engines search for any occurrence of the words typed in. So, free cross stitch patterns brought back over 5,000 websites. When I inserted the quotes, "free cross stitch patterns" brought back 80 to 90 websites. When you use the quotes, the search engines look for those words in that exact order, thus narrowing your search. Websites with Links If you don't feel up to all the searching, there are some great websites that have found freebies and listed the links for you.
