The major yarn companies usually offer free patterns, but tend to want you to sign up for access (it is free, but you may get a newsletter.)
Lion yarn has the largest selection (of course, she can substitute cheaper or more expensive yarn if she likes!): http://www.lionbrand.com/
Garnstudio Drops Design has loads of knitting (and some crochet) patterns, but not all of these are translated into American needleworking terms. http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/kategori_oversikt.php
For some really great patterns (oh, I wish I had the patience to knit!), try Knitty: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter07/index.html
For some cool crochet patterns: http://www.crochetme.com/
For general crafty babble and inspiration from the best craft community online, AND some very nice tutorials on all sorts of sewn, crocheted and knitted items: http://www.craftster.org
