NOTE - FYI: In the table below, Date is for the date the pattern was offered at AA's web site, FP is for FreePatterns.com web site (a Y for Yes at the site or a N for Not at the site), Source is the named source of the original pattern, Page #s are the pattern page numbers in the source, and the rest should be self-explanatory. N/A is for Not Applicable or (Information) Not Available. Abbreviations for the Sources are listed here as well as links to designers' individual web sites/stores if known. I did try to include a link whenever possible for where to purchase the original source(s) at the best/lowest price.
I think that in order for any of the links under Pattern Name in the table below to work correctly, you must be a member of FreePatterns.com and logged into it. I have set the links to open up in a new browser window at the FreePatterns.com web site. (If you aren't already a member, you may want to join - membership is FREE.) I did NOT place a link to a download of any pattern as I thought it would be better to leave the choice up to you and also did not want to have any problems regarding copyright(s). Please remember that the patterns at FreePatterns.com are in .pdf file format so you do need to have Adobe Reader or another .pdf file reader program available to open the files.
Since many of the free daily AA patterns have been repeats from what has been offered in other years, there is a column in the table below called "Repeat" and it shows the pattern with a Y for yes or N for no. Any pattern that is a repeat from other year(s) are marked with a Y & includes a link to my page(s) for the date(s) it was originally offered.
NOTE: If you have missed out on getting any of the free daily pattern at AA and it's NOT available at FreePatterns.com (http://www.FreePatterns.com), you may want to try looking at eBay or other online auction sites to see if you can locate a copy of the original source for the pattern. For books, you may want to check with your local library FIRST to see if they have a copy of the book or can interloan one for you. FYI: As another alternative for finding a specific pattern, you may want to see if the pattern itself is available OR the magazine the pattern appeared in as an e-magazine download for sale at e-PatternsCentral.com (http://www.e-patternscentral.com/) as both AA and e-PatternsCentral.com are part of DRG's publishing division (http://www.drgnetwork.com/products/products.html).
As of 31 May 2008, I added a new 11th column called "For $" to the table below for those who missed getting the pattern on the date it was offered but are still interested in finding/getting it. If/when I find one or more of the patterns listed below available for sale online (or someone lets me know where to find it/them), I'll add a link to the site where it may be found for purchase and it will show up in a green box with two dollar signs ($$) in the box. If there are 3 question marks (???) in the box WITH a link, the link will take you to the search results at Campusi.com for the book & it will be your choice to make from the list of available sellers.
Please note that I do not receive any kind of payment for such links - I am only doing it to help those who may be (desperately?!?) looking for any help in finding some of the patterns. Please let me know whether or not you like this new feature by voting at the "Cast Your Vote" link in the white table/box below. I have not decided as of yet whether or not I will continue offering it for future use after June 2008. You may also vote to simply let me know how my site is doing.

  NOTE: Starting 3 June 2008, AA began offering a non-crochet pattern (usually either a knit or plastic canvas pattern) for 1 day each week to add more of a variety to AA's FPOD. It was also reportedly done in response to numerous requests from AA knitters and plastic canvas crafters. |
