Favourite Autumn Crochet Roundup

We are already more than half way through this autumn, but it is not too late to fit in some more Autumn crochet projects before the Winter season is upon us, in fact there is no reason why you couldn't make any of these as gifts too.

We start off with a fab pattern for little mini pumpkins.
Someone asked me about the pattern for the pumpkins you can see in my
Halloween tea party post,
well this is the one I used :)

Gotta throw in my own contribution to autumn with my Fox Cowl pattern ;)

I've been meaning to make this cute little Halloween witch for a couple of years now.

You can never have too many blankets in Autumn for snuggling under with hot chocolate and a book.

Pretty maple leaves could be sewn onto a slouchy hat or child's bonnet perhaps?

Although I'm not one for rainbow crochet, I think it works well with a neutral background like this.

Little mini Autumn leaves could be made into a garland, or hung from twigs in a vase.

If this owl rug was made with cotton yarn it would make a fab bath mat.

I really like these fir cones, will certainly be making some of these for myself.

And these oak and acorn sprigs are another project I definitely want to make for my autumn display.

Autumn Wreaths

Well that was a busy week, kicking off with the Mad Tea Party last weekend, which was great fun as always, although maybe I should have taken some behind the scenes photos so you could all see the dashing in and out between rain storms, putting up umbrellas in the fairy tent lol

Also welcome to my new blog followers too (waves) hello there :)

The last few days I've been limiting my internet time, after all the blog partying I was having technology overload so turned to a spot of autumn crafting. I know it is weeks away, but next week the boys arrive and I want to use my time with them well doing boy crafts and trips to the beach (weather permitting of course).

There have been several items in my autumn pinterest board that I have been itching to do, often things I couldn't afford/justify buying so decided to make my own. Autumn wreaths is one of these and most of the bits I needed I already had left over from other projects.

The top wreath I made using a willow ring I wove the first year we moved up with willow twigs from the garden, the autumn foliage I bought last year from the garden centre for an autumn mantelpiece display. All the fir cones, seed pods were from around the house, the only thing I bought was the wired hessian / burlap ribbon from ebay.

The second wreath I bought a base for and then spent a good couple of hours wrapping with some yarn from the stash, all the felt/fleece was left over scraps, buttons yarn and fir cones from around the house. I will hang both wreaths with the left over hessian ribbon later in the year.

I am looking forward to autumn this year as always, we may not get the coloured leaves due to the wind whipping them all off come September, but I love the cosiness of it all. Blankets, warm fires, apple pies, plum crumble, winter cushions, just so snuggly :)
