In addition to the ones mentioned above, I have gotten patterns at crochetnmore.com , crochetandknitting.com, knitting-crochet.com, crochetcabana.com, yarncat.com. You can also just enter free crochet patterns in Google or Yahoo and it will give you lots of free sites to chose from depending on what you are interested in making
Try Suzie's Blog. http://suzies-yarnie-stuff.blogspot.com/ Suzie often makes new patterns and they are free. Her patterns are usually quick and easy. The patterns are listed on the right hand side of her blog.
I've been using lionbrand.com to look at their free patterns for inspiration, but am pleased to see the other suggestions listed here and can't wait to try them. I do have an Etsy store (Yen4Yarn.Etsy.com) and my items are all original designs, but I have gotten lots of ideas from lionbrand and other free pattern sites. So much yarn, so little time!
http://www.coatsandclark.com/ has lots of great, free patterns. Just for fun, I also enjoy looking at crocheted items others have made on etsy.com. It gives me lots of ideas for using colors, combining yarns, etc. Although there aren't free patterns there, I can often use an idea I got there and single or double crochet something similar. My local public library also has many books of easy, quick crochet patterns.
