As the leaves change colors and the temperatures drop, there is a unique comfort in curling up with cozy yarn and a favorite project. Fall is the ideal season for knitting and crochet, not only to keep warm but also to add seasonal charm to your wardrobe and home. In this post, I’ll share delightful pattern inspirations, all using the fabulous Scheepjes yarn. From sweaters to blankets, there’s something here for everyone!
1. Sweaters to Snuggle In
When the chill in the air sets in, nothing beats the warmth of a homemade sweater. One of my top choices is the Scheepjes Mini & Me Sweater. This pattern offers a relaxed fit, perfect for layering. By using Scheepjes Stone Washed yarn, the finished product boasts a soft, textured appearance that's both comfortable, stylish and wool-free. Pattern also includes children's sizes. This sweater would also be lovely with Scheepjes Woolwise, Kindsome, Scrumptious, Unity, and any other DK/Sport weight option.
Another excellent choice is the For Them Sweater. This crochet pattern utilizes Scheepjes Terrazzo, a yarn that has a subtle tweed effect. It’s lightweight, making it perfect for those fall days when a little extra warmth is needed. Many knitters and crocheters appreciate this versatility; it’s a great transition piece that can carry you from autumn into cooler winter months. It is also a unisex design that looks great on both men and women. This sweater would also be lovely with Scheepjes Woolwise, Kindsome, Scrumptious, Unity, Stone Washed, and any other DK/Sport weight option.
2. Hats for Warmth and Style
No fall outfit feels complete without a stylish hat. Knitting or crocheting a hat is a fulfilling weekend project that yields immediate results. I highly recommend the Scheepjes Basic Bobble Beanie. This simple and cute pattern works quickly with Scheepjes Chunky Monkey yarn, which has a thick texture perfect for keeping your head warm during colder days. This beanie can be made in just a few hours! If you'd like to spice it up with stripes and color, I'd also recommend Scheepjes Stone Washed Minerals XL, Stone Washed XL, and Wanderlust for a fun twist.
For a hat with a fun color design, try the Kaleidoscope Combo Hat + Mitts. This crochet pattern uses Scheepjes Softfun Color Packs which makes the color combo decisions so easy! The hat and the finger-less mitts make it a perfect accessory for outdoor gatherings or a stroll in the park. Other yarn options for this pattern include Scheepjes Colour Crafter Parade and Stone Washed Minerals.
3. Ornaments to Celebrate the Season
Fall brings a festive spirit, and what better way to celebrate than by creating handmade ornaments? The Granny Pumpkin pattern offers a fun project where you can crochet adorable and unique pumpkins in using Scheepjes Catona. These delightful decorations can enhance your home’s autumn ambiance and make thoughtful gifts for friends or family.
Another charming fall project is the Painted Pumpkins. This knit pattern utilizes Scheepjes Chunky Monkey yarn and knit up super quickly. With just a few skeins in a fall palette, you can bring a fun touch of autumn indoors, brightening up your living space.
4. Accessories to Complete Your Look
Accessories are the perfect way to finish off any outfit, especially in fall. A standout project is the Kevin's Cowl (not just for Kevins!) This cozy accessory is a meditative crochet project with a beautiful wearable result. Crocheted with Scheepjes Metropolis yarn in four colors. The softness and light feel of this yarn will keep you warm while introducing a splash of color into your fall wardrobe. Another fun yarn option for this pattern is Scheepjes Unity.
If you’re looking for something a bit more playful, consider the Ginger Root Gloves Pattern. These finger-less gloves keep your hands cozy while allowing you to use your phone or sip on your favorite hot drink. Also using Scheepjes Metropolis, but in an elegant colorwork pattern, you can create a truly unique and warm accessory.
5. Blankets for Cozy Evenings
As daylight hours diminish, nothing compares to snuggling under a warm blanket. The Scheepjes Lonesome Pines Blanket pattern adds a subtle feel of the forest and coming winter into your home. This free crochet pattern uses an often forgotten Scheepjes chunky yarn collection called Namaste, which is a wool/acrylic blend with a subtle sheen that reflects the light in the room. It’s perfect for draping over your couch or bed as a stylish yet functional decoration. The pattern is also a flexible pattern, crocheted in mosaic, you can easily adjust it to smaller yarn weights such as Scheepjes Truly Scrumptious, Chunky Monkey, or even make a fluffy version with Sweetheart Soft!
For those who prefer knitting, the Icarus Blanket is another excellent option. This pattern uses Scheepjes Softfun Denim yarn, held double, making it a quick project and fun, beginner friendly make. You could finish a single blanket in a week, allowing for plenty of cozy evenings spent wrapped up as the temperature continues to drop. Other yarn options here include Scheepjes Stone Washed and Kindsome.
