  You can use any widget that has pure HTML but you cannot use any widgets that contain restricted codes like iframes or JavaScript widgets. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  The pin it button is JavaScript. We cannot use JavaScript pin-it widgets nor can we install any plugins on free hosted WordPress.com blogs, so do be clear on that please.

  You can capture an image of a Pinterest icon and upload it, link to it and display it in a text widget. I have done this here in the text widget at the top of my sidebar for those who want to follow me on Pinterest http://thistimethisspace.com/ and here on my About page http://thistimethisspace.com/about

  For creating links in a text widget see:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/
  NOTE http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/#adding-an-image

  You can upload image files by clicking the Add Media button right above the editing area of a page or a post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/add-media/

  You can also upload new files to your Media Library using Media → Add New. http://support.wordpress.com/media/media-add-new

  You enable sharing buttons including a Pinterest one to display at the bottom of your posts. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/

  The only Pin It button we have available for use on WordPress.com sites is the one under Dashboard>Settings>Sharing, and which can be added at the bottom of Posts, Pages, Attachment Pages, Archives, Front Page and Search Results, depending on where you’ve selected to display your sharing buttons.
