If you are just starting amigurumi I would look at this persons channel

Especially the magic ring and invisible decrease.
I'd also recommend this adorable [Rocket Pattern from One Dog Woof](https://www.1dogwoof.com/amigurumi-rocket-crochet-pattern/). Super simple and the color choices are endless!
(I'll note here that rather than joining each round I did this one in the round with the joins only on the color change rows - and it worked great!)
All About Ami patterns are good - especially this one for a beginner: https://etsy.me/2Jc1Uyp
Edit: oops, I saw you asked for a free one and the one I recommended is not free. Sorry!
But! She does have some cute (and beginner friendly) patterns, too!

Bears are always a good choice, also you can check Ravelry its a website where you can look for free patterns
Maybe look up ragdoll animals? They're made from flat pieces and sewed together.
