I've been searching for knitting patterns online for a while now because I like keeping my hands busy during winter. The truth is that finding them in pure Portuguese is difficult, but there are ways around it.
Ravelry is honestly the best option, even though it has quite a lot of content in English. You can filter by Portuguese language and find dozens of patterns from Portuguese and Brazilian authors. The platform is free and really intuitive - you can organize your projects, save favorites, and follow specific authors. There's also a community tab where you can ask questions in Portuguese if you have any doubts.
If you'd prefer something only in Portuguese, Pinterest is surprisingly good for this. Lots of Portuguese bloggers share patterns and tutorials, and searching in Portuguese works well. You'll find everything from simple stuff to more complex projects. Another option is searching directly on Google for "padrões tricô português" or "moldes tricô pdf" - local knitting community blogs and sites pop up with pattern compilations. Ravelry is still the best for quality and quantity, but try Pinterest if you want something more straightforward without too much English in the mix.
I really like using Ravelry even though most of the patterns are in English, but you can filter by Portuguese language and find quite a lot. What nobody mentions is that a lot of free patterns in Portuguese are scattered across old personal blogs that disappear from the internet, so when you find something good it's worth downloading the PDF right away. Pinterest also works well if you type "padrão tricô português" or "receita tricô" - there's plenty of people sharing screenshots of old magazines and homemade projects.
If you can handle English, Ravelry is really the best place - it has a massive collection and you can find specific knitting patterns by difficulty, style, and even material. Now, if you really want it in Portuguese, Brazilian knitting blogs usually have some cool collections, but the content is pretty limited and sometimes outdated. It's worth checking out communities on Pinterest too, because lots of people share translated patterns there - it's not the most organized place, but you'll find some good surprises.
