With August here, it seems like the countdown to the end of summer has begun. Some folks might mourn the loss of the high temps and sunny days but us crocheters know that Autumn is the perfect time for crafting.

Plus, making your own clothing means you get to choose the colors and styles that you love most.

You’ll find all of these things and more in our curated collection of fall crochet patterns, so scroll down and prepare to be inspired!

1. Happy Fall Y’all Square

Don’t underestimate the power of a crochet square to transform your fall decor. You can use this adorable quote square to create a fall wall hanging or you can sandwich two squares together to make a throw pillow that speaks louder than words. The pattern uses the corner to corner crochet technique, also known as C2C.

2. Fair Isle Fall Pumpkin

There are pumpkin patterns aplenty but this one is one of my favorites. Tapestry crochet adds an extra layer of interest to this design so it’s more engaging to make and prettier to look at too. I especially love the use of the tweed yarn here as it’s positively perfect for fall. The pattern calls for the waistcoat stitch, which is a variation of the single crochet stitch that looks a bit like knitting.

3. Amigurumi Fall Bunnies

Do you love to crochet stuffed toys? These cute little critters are perfect for tiered tray displays or for adorning your mantlepiece. Of course, you can also make them to give as gifts to the little ones in your life. There are four adorable bunny designs to choose from – candy corn, acorn, caramel apple, and sunflower! They are made in the traditional amigurumi style using just single crochet stitches.

4. Autumn Pumpkin Wall Hanging

I don’t know about you, but when the weather starts getting cold I find myself reaching for a cozy flannel shirt. Maybe that’s why Autumn and plaid go so well together! This design expertly combines some simple plaid colorwork with a pretty orange pumpkin that’s simply bursting from the surface of the work thanks to the bobble stitches.

5. Feels Like Fall

The other iconic texture of fall has to be houndstooth, so it just makes sense to use the lovely houndstooth stitch to make yourself a cute and cozy set of accessories for Autumn. There are fall crochet patterns here for a stylish slouchy beanie, a cozy infinity scarf, and some seriously on-trend fingerless gloves too.

6. Fall Vest

I practically live in layers when the weather turns cold, so I’m always on the hunt for great layering pieces like this vest. You can throw it on top of practically anything to add some extra texture and warmth to your ensemble. The pattern calls for single and double crochet stitches with some stitches worked into the back loops only to create the ribbed texture along the button band.

7. Cute Pumpkin Blanket

Well, would you look at this cutie pie! A smiling pumpkin friend complete with rosy cheeks in the kawaii style adorns the surface of this C2C blanket. The best thing about crocheting a blanket for fall is that the blanket can warm you up while you work on it, so you can enjoy the benefits of this project well before its completion.

8. Fall Table Runner

Of course, when I think of fall I think of Thanksgiving and family meals. You can make your mealtimes extra special with a custom crochet table runner like this lovely lace one. The pretty stitch pattern is called the woven lattice stitch and it’s sure to become one of your new favorites! This is a versatile design that could also easily be adapted to make placemats instead.

Remember when crochet pocket shawls were all anybody could talk about? Well I think that trend is here to stay because of amazing patterns like this one. It’s just such a nice balance between prettiness and practicality that you really can’t go wrong. For this design, you’ll be using single and double crochet stitches along with puff stitches.

10. Autumnal Acorns

Quick little crochet projects like these acorns are perfect for adding some handmade charm to your Autumnal decorations. You can use these simple single crochet acorns in any number of ways.

11. Fall Leaves

No list of fall crochet patterns could possibly be complete with some fall foliage in the mix. Sure, you will probably soon have plenty of leaves on the ground to choose from, but this crochet version will never rot. The pattern uses the tunisian crochet simple stitch, but you likely won’t need a special tunisian crochet hook since you aren’t working with very many stitches at a time.

13. Great Harvest Pumpkin Coasters

If a table runner sounds like a big commitment to you, then maybe you would prefer this pint size project instead. Coasters add a lovely touch of handmade charm to your dining table or to the coffee table in your living room. They are also perfect for last minute gifts. The pumpkin coasters work up quickly with half double and double crochet stitches.

15. Fall Bouquet Bucket Hat

Fall crochet patterns offer an excellent opportunity to work with thicker yarns like bulky and super bulky weight. This bucket hat makes a statement with the use of just such a yarn. Using just half double crochet stitches and a nice thick yarn you can make a trendy bucket hat for yourself too. It just goes to show that bucket hats aren’t just for summer!

16. Falling Leaves Headband

Of course, wearing hats comes with the added drawback of potential hat hear. If your hair is prone to mussing and frizzing, then maybe a headband is the way to go instead. Keep your ears warm and yourself cute in this stylish design. The pattern calls for single and double crochet stitches as well as double and treble crochet stitches worked together around the post.

17. Fall Harvest Cowl

I’m low key obsessed with bandana style cowls because they’re just so effortlessly cool and cozy. This design really amps up the texture by using half double crochet stitches worked through the back loops only to create rows upon rows of lovely ridges. Fringe adds another element of texture so this scarf is seriously irresistible.

18. Fall Primrose Scarf

You’ll be feeling that crafting bliss when you see how quickly this cute little scarf works up in bulky weight yarn. The chunkiness of the yarn really makes the chosen stitch (side saddle cluster stitch) stand out. I especially love that the yarn is self-striping so you can make a multicolor scarf without having to change colors manually or weave in any extra ends.

19. Forever Fall Sweater

There are so many reasons to love fall crochet patterns but my top reason can be summed up in just two words: sweater weather! You just can’t beat a sweater and a pair of jeans for the sheer amount of cuteness and coziness combined. The pattern for this stunning striped sweater calls for single, double, and treble crochet stitches as well as front and back post stitches.

20. Fall Plaid Wine Cozy

A crochet wine cozy can keep your bottles safe from breaking and make them look extra festive while you’re at it. The other nice thing about this plaid wine cozy is that it makes for the perfect hostess gift for when you get invited over to a friend’s place for dinner. The pattern works up quickly using two strands of yarn held together and speedy double crochet stitches.

21. Falling Leaves Ruana

A ruana is like a more sophisticated version of a poncho and this one is pulling out all the stops. I love the drape of this design and the dramatic length. Of course, the star of the show is the filet crochet lace technique used to create the leaf design. This pattern calls for just double crochet stitches and chains so it’s easier than you might think.

22. The Autumnal Blanket

I don’t know about you but I would love to curl up in a big cozy blanket like this one when the weather gets chilly! A blanket is a big undertaking but using bulky weight yarn can help cut down on time spent crocheting. The other nice thing about this design is that it is split up into bite size motifs (granny circle in a square).

23. Autumn Wheat Hat

Embrace the upcoming beanie season with a chic and comfy hat that is sure to turn some heads. Half double crochet stitches worked in the 3rd loop create a tantalizing texture that’s also surprisingly stretchy. A couple rows of puff stitches make the pretty column of “wheat” that gives the hat its name. Just don’t blame us when all your friends want you to make one for them too!

25. Autumn Hues Striped Sweater

This sweater design features bold stripes in a combination of colors that I haven’t considered before. I think that this project would be especially perfect for using up some partial skeins of yarn in your stash that are leftover from other projects.
