Reading over all of the comments on this post, I am both amused and amazed at how many people dont understand how to click the direct links to the free patterns and then either printing the pattern or saving it as a PDF. This is an awesome collection of afghans and definitely one to keep bookmarked.

You'll get a window that gives you the option to "copy." Do that, and then paste the text into a word document. You should be able print that document that way.

Hi sgarrett45 8191768 - You do not need a subscription to print any of the patterns on AllFreeKnitting. Simply click on the pattern you are interested in and it will take you to that pattern page. There you will find a link that will take you to the actual pattern that you can then print out. Was there a particular pattern that you were having trouble with? -The editors of AllFreeKnitting

I thought I would be able to print out the patterns, but I see that I have to order and start a subscription. This ad was very misleading and I am really disappointed.
