What magazines regularly offer knitting patterns?

Apart from the actual knitting mags (which i find hugely expensive to buy), are there any still doing free pull out patterns and if so which ones are they? I do not want to download....I want the leaflets themselves, thankyou

1. Look on ebay, there are always loads on there.
2. Lots of women's mags still give knitting patterns but some are a bit old fashioned. Go to W.H.Smith and look thru the mags on display. Libraries have a section with current magazines and periodicals. You could look thru the mags there and only go and buy any that have a pattern you like.
3. No, there are not any women's magazines still doing pull-out patterns, at least in the USA. Yarn is expensive, and you buy that. If a magazine has patterns you want to make, then it is worth buying. If not, don't buy it. Free is not always the best solution.
4. Woman's Weekly always have a knitting pattern or two every week - it's only about 80/90p. They also do Knitting specials every now and then which is all knitting patterns and it usually includes patterns of children's tv characters - it is about £3.99 Prima sometimes have knitting patterns, but they seem to do more sewing patterns. People's Friend sometimes has knitting patterns too - it's usually under £1. Just have a little look at the magazines aimed at older women - they do have nice patterns!
