5 Crochet Patterns to try this fall – Featuring ACCROchet
Hello October!
And hello to our new guest designer: Julie from ACCROchet.
I had the lucky opportunity to meet Julie at CGOA 2018. This woman is talented, smart and extremely hilarious. I am pretty sure our laughing sessions equaled an insanity ab workout. She is extremely knowledgeable, and it was s fun discussing crochet, yarn and everything else. Julie is a treasure!
Her website is full of fun, unique designs.
Check out her free patterns here.
Check out her premium patterns here.
I’ll let Julie tell you more about herself!
ACCROchet is Julie Desjardins, a bilingual French Canadian crochet designer, who obviously enjoys puns. Julie’s aim is to foster communities that value and recognize the artist’s talent, time, and tools, and that want to surround themselves in those same luxurious elements. My original goal was to bring crochet into its own in my own province. Francophone crocheters had few resources when I came on the scene. That goal has changed and evolved over time, and while I still have a soft spot for my French crocheters & designers, I now aim to be a resource for crocheters everywhere. I do this through classes, workshops, events, designs, translations and mentoring. I work with the best tools of the trade, and encourage others to do the same, to make everyone’s crochet experience ever more enjoyable. I love to discover and teach new techniques, to challenge crocheters of all skill levels, and to promote our beautiful craft. ACCROchet’s focus is now on the beauty of our stitches, the magic we create with beautiful yarn, and that moment of delight when a new completed crochet project enters the world.
As our October Guest Designer, Julie has offered her Quatre Convertible Cowl for you ENDLESS BUNDLE members!
Yay!
You can find the pattern PDF download on the WHAT’S NEW page.
Want a taste of Julie’s style? These are a few of my favorite winter designs of hers:
– MJs Hug Blanket
– Fireside Sweater
– Dobby Socks (best seller!)
– Red Riding Hood
– Three of Hearts Hat
Julie can be found on Ravelry, and I love being in her Facebook group (check it out here), where she shares inspiring projects, videos and crochet funnies!

One More Whistler
If you are on my email list, you are probably wondering why my recents emails are peppered with excuses about why the blog has been a bit lacking in patterns and projects lately (“not feeling well” has been a common theme as of late 😂).
I am definitely not one to make excuses about missed deadlines (or do appropriate self-care for that matter), but I will tell you, a few days weeks the last couple months have had me flat on my back (and with my face over the toilet).
But it’s not all bad news…

Both patterns use basic stitches and the color work on the blanket looks deceivingly difficult (its actually very easy!). This post contains affiliate links which means I get a very small commission at no extra cost to you.
It’s been far too long since I have planned a crochet along (CAL). I love seeing the flow of individual flair on the same project and it’s so fun to all work together on the same thing.
This bear has been a very special project for me and has taken me quite some time to perfect. When my son was in the PICU after his accident he was given a teddy bear from a family friend. He loved how floppy the bear’s the arms and legs were and I loved its sweet face. It was special to him, which made it special to me.
Months later, I set out to create a crochet version. It was a lot of trial and error, changing my mind, sending off to testers, changing my mind again, making last minute changes…etc. But it’s finally completed and I am so excited to share it with you. (I even have plans for some fun variations 🥰)
POCA THE BEAR CROCHET ALONG
This CAL will be a bit different than the other ones I have done. This pattern will be a premium pattern and will be available in my Ravelry and Etsy shops, however, during the CAL, those who participate will be able to get the pattern parts for free on my blog.
