Dear users, dear authors,
the golden autumn is currently more gray, gloomy, and rainy than golden, but don’t let that spoil your mood.
Start crafting now.

Mod tip: How about nicje’s Goldzauber pattern to help Indian summer / those golden autumn days along a bit?

Crochet pattern for the “Goldzauber” jacket - all sizes



@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual info.

The weather is pretty autumnal right now, and even though the leaves are still quite green, some are already showing the first signs of changing color. With this autumn wreath you can welcome Indian summer and make the gray days that follow a little easier to bear.



The wreath is made of photo cardstock (colored cardstock) and tracing paper, measures approximately 46 x 46 cm, and is easy to make. Aside from being comfortable using a craft knife, no special skills are required.

A knitting pattern for a shawl, made for the golden days of autumn. Golden brown and made from soft merino wool, it keeps you warm and glows in the most beautiful fall colors. The shawl is actually a rectangular stole that is knitted lengthwise. It has an elegant lace and cable pattern and looks simply stunning.

You can find the pattern here.

Thanksgiving is traditionally celebrated in the fall. In a religious sense, people thank God for the gifts of the harvest, which still help ensure survival through the winter today. In a non-religious sense, people are just as happy about nature’s treasures, which often taste very good. This crocheted infinity scarf is inspired by that.

It’s easy to crochet, that much I can reveal. You can crochet it in any length you like, and you can also adjust the width to suit your personal preferences, and it keeps your neck wonderfully warm on cool fall days.

Schnecki Schneck and his best friend Marieni will also bring a smile to every face. In any weather!!!

A Touch of Something.. Reversible Loop/hooded scarf - one size - easy to knit




One size – easy to knit.

The PDF pattern includes pictures from the image gallery.

These basic knitting skills are needed:
casting on stitches, knit and purl stitches, knit 2 stitches together, increase 1 stitch, knitting in the round, binding off.


We need:
just under 50 g Austermann Kid Silk (75% kid mohair, 25% silk, 25 g/225 m yardage (hand wash) needle size 3–4;

For knitting beginners, I recommend suitably thin (lace) yarns with a comparable yardage without mohair.

A poncho is a wonderful way to style the transition during Indian summer!

A wonderfully light poncho—but still very warm thanks to the camel hair—is waiting for you here!
Of course, it looks just as beautiful in other yarn qualities!

The technique is basically kept simple—but the small cable border adds the finishing touch!
The snowmen (or whatever you like) worked in with bead technique also look very nice and at the same time serve to add weight, ensuring a clean drape.

This pattern is designed for sizes 38/40.
However, the included schematic and the gauge make it possible to make any size!

Detailed instructions guide you through the entire knitting process.

And here is the pattern and more details...

Loose, colorful, and cozy, this batwing sweater comes along and brightens up any boring outfit in
no time at all!
With its wide batwing sleeves, it’s the perfect companion all year round—whether at home,
at the movies, or on a walk—it simply always fits!

This project is absolutely suitable for beginners , since the sleeves do not need to be worked separately.

This pattern is designed for sizes S/M and L/XL.
The included schematic and the gauge make it possible, however, to work any size!

The “Sunflowers” shawl invites you to think of summer days and bring back vacation memories.
The shawl is designed so that it’s very easy to make larger and you won’t have any leftover yarn. Simply keep knitting the pattern repeat until all the yarn is used up.

In fall, I always love bright colors, because when nature gets a bit foggy and gloomy, they can really lift your spirits. Here I'd like to show you a few of my cheerfully colorful and nicely warming hat patterns.

Since all the hats are worked with a ribbed brim, they can easily be adjusted to any head circumference, so the hats can be crocheted for children and adults. Yarn in different weights can also be used. Only with the square hat does the result look nicer with thinner yarn.

All the patterns are also easy for beginners to follow, as they contain lots of pictures and detailed step-by-step explanations.

But now, on to the hats:

--> To the crochet pattern for the "Little Princess" hat / beanie



--> To the crochet pattern for the "Autumn Joy" beanie


--> To the crochet pattern for the colorful square hat

Hold on to the memory of summer while still taking the changing temperatures into account - a soft shawl that warms your shoulders is perfect for that.

You can find the pattern here.



This shawl is really easy to knit. You can use sock yarn, as with the shawl shown, but you can also use any other yarn, and you simply keep knitting until the shawl reaches the desired size.
