Fall Decorations + Back to School + Halloween

Dear users, dear authors,
I just opened a thread for Christmas and Advent.
Here is a place for more planning-ahead patterns.
Summer isn’t that long, even if you might sometimes get that impression on balmy summer nights. The summer days fly by all too quickly, and before you know it, it’s fall and time for fall decorations, for back to school, and of course for Halloween.
Anyone who wants to be well prepared can find suitable patterns and inspiration for exciting new decorations here.

If you’d like to get started on fall decorations already, you can crochet the cute little Fall Knobblys ♥
Disguised as a fly agaric mushroom, chestnut and pine cone , these little chubby balls are looking forward to the colorful season.

The little danglers love hanging on bags, backpacks, or keys—but they’re also great as a little protector for the start of school!

Fall Knobblys Crochet Pattern





The Knobblys absolutely love dressing up, so Halloween is their declared favorite holiday ♥

As a witch, nasty spider, or pumpkin, they dangle their way through the day and put a little smile on everyone’s face ♥

Crochet Pattern Halloween Knobblys

If you're still looking for an original gift wrap for the first day of school that you'd like to craft yourself, I can highly recommend this backpack.
 

 
The gift bag in backpack shape is made from photo cardstock, measures approx. 16.5 x 22.5 x 9 cm, and is perfect for large and small first-day-of-school gifts. It’s quick and easy to make and can be adapted in color to suit any taste.


Spooky spiders are just part of Halloween, aren’t they? These ones are super easy to crochet. How big they turn out depends on the thickness of the yarn. You’ll need a black skein of yarn and some chenille wire. Best of all: the pattern is free! You can download it here.

To help the little ones get in the right mindset for their first year of school, it helps to decorate their children's rooms accordingly. This window picture is one of many ways to ease a first-grader’s transition into this new phase of life.



The window picture is made of photo cardstock and tracing paper and measures approximately 49 x 68 cm. It’s easy to make, but due to its size, it requires a bit of patience and a large work surface.
