I’m very excited to talk about fall crochet today! You see, I’ve been a knitting enthusiast for over three decades (yes, you heard that right – 31 years!), but crochet is the one crafty frontier I’ve yet to conquer.
I’ve sat through classes, sought advice from fellow crafters, yet that elusive crochet hook continues to be my archnemesis. Can anyone relate to this saga or am I alone in this tangled yarn tale?
But, as the leaves start to turn and the air gets that crisp, fall feel, I’m hit with a wave of determination (or maybe it’s just the pumpkin spice talking).
This fall, I’m on a mission to finally get the hang of this crochet business. And what better way to get hooked (pun absolutely intended) than diving into some fabulous fall crochet patterns?

From cozy scarves that feel like a warm hug to adorable pumpkins that never go bad – these patterns are the perfect companions for your fall crafting sessions. There are ideas for gifts and fall decor.
So here’s the deal: I’m throwing down the crochet gauntlet and asking all you seasoned crocheters out there – which pattern should I tackle first?
Should I go bold and start with something complex, or keep it simple and sweet? Your guidance in my crochet journey would be greatly appreciated!

Start with something small, like a plain dish cloth. That is how I taught myself. I taught myself from a book mega years ago.

Crocheting is he best ! Don’t give up on learning anyone! My paternal grandmother taught me when i was 5 years old, and I haven’t put a hook down since. Now I’m 54. I taught myself how to knit too. I always favored crochet because to me its just much more relaxing. If you make a mistake just pull it out and do it again.....knitting is more like ???? . lol. i used to own my own yarn store in my town. unfortunately it did not attract as much interest as i had hoped. But now thanks to Etsy....i have an online store that i love and can connect with a lot more people. For beginners i would suggest small projects first like the leaves or acorn broach. whatever you do have fun!!!
