This post may contain referral/affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for more info.
There’s something about fall that makes me want to grab my crochet hook and surround myself with yarn in every gorgeous shade of rust, gold and orange. Maybe it’s the cooler weather. Maybe it’s pumpkin season. Or maybe fall and crochet were simply meant to go together.
If you’re feeling that autumn crochet pull too, you’re going to love these fall crochet patterns. I’ve gathered some of my favorite designs for celebrating the season, from squishy pumpkins and cozy hats to Thanksgiving projects, fall wine cozies and even a little candy corn goodness. There’s a fun mix here too, whether you’re in the mood for a small project or something with a bit more detail.
So pour yourself something warm, settle into your favorite crochet spot and take a look through the collection. You just might find the perfect project for your next fall afternoon. And really… is there such a thing as too many crochet pumpkins? Uhm.. no.. no there is not.
1. Medium Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
If there’s one pumpkin that belongs right at the top of this fall crochet collection, it’s my Medium Crochet Pumpkin. This just-right-size pumpkin is a longtime favorite, complete with a stem, leaves and that adorable curly tendril. Make one or crochet a whole pumpkin patch in your favorite fall colors.
2. Houndstooth Crochet Pumpkin
There’s something extra special about taking a classic pattern and turning it into a pumpkin! My Houndstooth Crochet Pumpkin combines alternating single and double crochet stitches with contrasting colors for a design that looks far more complicated than it actually is. The finished pumpkin looks gorgeous in traditional fall colors or your own favorite color combination.
3. Small Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
Meet the littlest member of my classic crochet pumpkin trio. This Small Crochet Pumpkin measures approximately 3.5 inches wide by 2.25 inches tall, with a short, stubby stem and a single crochet leaf on top. I love scattering a few of these around for a quick pop of autumn.
4. Textured Crochet Pumpkin
If you love a pumpkin with plenty of texture, this one is calling your name. My Textured Crochet Pumpkin uses front post double crochet stitches to create those beautiful raised ribs and is worked from the top down, beginning with the stem. The finished pumpkin is a lovely size for tucking into your fall decor.
5. Large Crochet Pumpkin
Tall, stately and just the thing to round out a collection of crocheted pumpkins, my Large Crochet Pumpkin is the biggest of my original three pumpkin patterns. It’s worked in the round, then stuffed and shaped into those wonderfully satisfying pumpkin sections. Add the stem and two leaves on top and this handsome guy is ready for your fall decor.
6. Chunky Crochet Pumpkin
Bring on the chunky yarn! My Chunky Crochet Pumpkin uses #6 super bulky wool yarn for a completely different take on fall pumpkin decor. I especially love those substantial stitches and the contrast of the chunky pumpkin with the smaller worsted weight stem and leaf.
7. Plush Crochet Pumpkin
Squishy, cozy and completely ready for fall—this Plush Crochet Pumpkin has all the things I love in a seasonal project. It’s worked in super bulky chenille-style yarn and constructed from the top down in one piece beginning with the stem. Add the leaf and shape the pumpkin sections at the end and you have one seriously plump little pumpkin that you can’t but squeeze.
8. Great Harvest Pumpkin Coasters
Sometimes a little bit of pumpkin goodness is all you need. These Great Harvest Pumpkin Coasters measure approximately 4.5 inches wide and use stitch-height changes to transform a basic double crochet circle into that recognizable pumpkin shape. The adorable stem and leaf are the perfect finishing touches. I use these all fall long.
9. Crochet Pumpkin Hat in All Sizes
When chilly fall weather arrives, why not wear your pumpkin instead? My Crochet Pumpkin Hat uses a modified Alpine stitch to create all that gorgeous texture, with a brown stem and green leaf finishing off the pumpkin look. And because the pattern includes multiple sizes, there’s plenty of pumpkin-hat fun to go around for the whole family.
10. Crochet Pumpkin Rattle
A pumpkin you can shake might just be the cutest twist on fall crochet. My Crochet Pumpkin Rattle uses worsted weight yarn and a rattle insert, with the pumpkin itself sculpted after stuffing to create those familiar ribs. Finish it with a brown stem and two green leaves for one seriously adorable fall-themed baby project.
11. Crochet Plaid Pumpkin
Plaid and fall just belong together, which makes this Crochet Plaid Pumpkin such a fun addition to the collection. Instead of working in the round, the plaid design is crocheted back and forth in half double crochet rows to make a rectangle, which is then seamed, stuffed and shaped. Add the stem and leaves and suddenly you’ve got yourself some glorious plaid pumpkin goodness.
12. Pumpkin Wine Cozy
A bottle of wine dressed up like a pumpkin? Yes, please. My Pumpkin Wine Cozy uses worsted weight yarn in classic pumpkin colors, complete with green leaves and a curly tendril. I especially love how the brown handles at the top become part of the pumpkin-stem look. And the drawstring style leaves? Chef’s kiss!
13. Fall Crochet Wine Cozy
Crisp leaves, golden colors and a crochet project made from scrap yarn—this Fall Crochet Wine Cozy is about as autumn as it gets. It’s worked with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together and uses four rich fall colors in wide stripes. Add the simple tie at the top and it’s ready for a fall gathering or Thanksgiving table.
14. Crochet Wine Bag in Fall Plaid
Oh fall… and plaid! Yum! This Crochet Wine Bag in Fall Plaid combines dark orange, light orange and ivory yarn to create that gorgeous gingham-style pattern, then finishes things off with a crochet flower at the neck of the bottle. The bag is worked with two strands of yarn held together and fits a standard wine bottle.
15. Crochet Sunflower Wine Cozy
Sunflowers are such a lovely way to bridge those last warm days of summer into the golden colors of fall. My Crochet Sunflower Wine Cozy fits a standard wine bottle and is worked with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together. Three little crocheted sunflowers are sewn onto the finished cozy for that perfect pop of gold and brown.
16. Crochet Candy Corn Hat
For a little Halloween color without going full costume, there’s my Crochet Candy Corn Hat. It’s worked in worsted weight yarn with half double crochet rounds and three distinct color sections inspired by everyone’s love-it or hate-it fall candy. Go traditional with your color placement or mix things up with an alternate fall color combination.
17. Easy Crochet Candy Corn Amigurumi
How can you look at that little candy corn face and not smile? This Crochet Candy Corn Amigurumi brings together the classic white, orange and yellow stripes with safety eyes and a sweet embroidered smile. It’s a fun little pop of fall color and the perfect break from all those pumpkins.
18. Toby the Crochet Turkey
And then there’s Toby. This squishy Crochet Turkey is worked in super bulky chenille-style yarn, with those colorful tail feathers making him unmistakably ready for Thanksgiving. He’s a fun way to move your fall crochet from pumpkin season right into November. Isn’t he adorable?
19. Crochet Turkey Wallhanging
If you’re looking for something a little different for your Thanksgiving crochet, this Crochet Turkey Wallhanging is such a fun project. The stacked turkey motifs combine all those beautiful autumn shades into one decorative piece, complete with a hanging loop at the top and tassel at the bottom. You can make your turkeys in more traditional colors, but I personally love this more subdued color way that matches the blue in my dining room.
20. Fabulous Fall Crochet Wreath
And finally, why keep all that fall crochet goodness inside the house? My Fabulous Fall Crochet Wreath combines a grapevine wreath with mini ribbed pumpkins and colorful crochet flowers in rich autumn shades. The natural grapevine keeps the look simple while all those crocheted details bring in the glorious fall color.
And there you have it: plenty of fall crochet goodness to keep your hook busy all season long.
Whether you’re in the mood for a pumpkin, something cozy to wear, a little candy corn cuteness or a project to carry you right into Thanksgiving, I hope you found something here that makes you want to dig through your yarn stash and get started.
Because really, that’s one of my favorite things about fall. Cooler days, beautiful colors and the perfect excuse to curl up with some yarn and crochet something fun.
