Stitches

Where can I find free crochet patterns online?

My husbands Grandmother has asked me to crochet an "edge" on a dresser runner that she embroidered. I know basic stitches but have never worked with such fine thread before. I'd like to find something simple and pretty to put on this linen that isn't going to make me crazy. Anyone know any sites for this type of delicate crochet? Thank you!!!
