This paper presents two new finite element methods for two-dimensional Stokes problems. These methods are developed by relaxing the constraints of the Crouzeix-Raviart nonconforming $P_1$ finite elements. Penalty terms are introduced to compensate for lack of continuity or the divergence-free property. However, there is no need for choosing penalty factors, and the formulations are symmetric. These new methods are easy to implement and avoid solving saddle-point linear systems. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the proved optimal error estimates.
