Recently, I have been really into crochet again after a little bit of a break. I think it may be because of the chill in the air but cozying up on my couch and crocheting for hours while watching TV has been an outlet for me in this particularly stressful part of the semester. Something about turning my brain off (except to count lol) and just repeating the same, simple stich patterns over and over. Love it.

I hate dropping so much money this time of year on fall outfits, accessories, decor, etc. But it’s all so cute, I can’t help but want it! That’s why I made this list. That way, you too can have the cute fall stuff you want, and maybe get rid of some of the 600lbs of yarn that you bought 6 months ago and still haven’t used.

Note: I tried to find mostly free patterns. I am sorry if some are unavailable or not free.

Decor

Decorating your house for fall is one of the best ways to really get into the season. When your house is decorated with pumpkins, fall colors, etc., you are surrounded by the spirit of fall and it really calming and cozy. I love to sit in my living room and just marvel at the fall colors in my house and my little spooky decorations. Here are some cute things that I think you could crochet for fall home decor:

Garlands

I have been obsessed with making garlands recently. They add such a cute motif to your walls and doorframes and are a great pop of color on boring white walls. Here are some cute ones I found that will (pumpkin) spice up your living space.
