Well it’s taken me a bit longer to get back into my pre-pregnancy pants. Maybe it’s because breastfeeding didn’t work out as well as I had hoped, or thE fact I am nearing clinical “advanced” maternal age 😂 but I have been in leggings for about a year, I am not sure if I am going back anytime soon.

It’s a world of comfort, but no dang pockets!

Once again, crochet to the rescue.

I am actually pleased as punch that chain purse straps are coming back. It turned out pretty cute. I wonder if a string of ribbon through the chain would be cute as well.

Of course this pattern is for Plaid Week, but I worked one up in a solid color and I adore it. Isn’t that texture wonderful?

Plaid pumpkins have been on my list for a long time! For Plaid Week this I decided to make it happen.
I really liked the idea of using my tartan plaid color work for these. It feels a bit more versatile to me. They really would work beautifully from October all the way until you get out your holiday decor after Thanksgiving!

They turned out quite lovely and I especially love the orange spice colored pumpkin. Admittedly, I started with just the gray and black pumpkins, thinking they would be the only color way I would make. I decided a pumpkin spice colored one would be cute too, so I ordered some more yarn. Now that they are finished, I actually think the orange one is my favorite!

I wanted them to have a rustic feel, so I used a tweed wool yarn and I really love the finished look. Switching up the yarns would really change the look! I am excited to see what you come up with when you make yours.

cute fall halloween candy corn hat for baby crochet pattern

When I organized my stash a little while ago, I found a few long-forgotten projects. It was kind of fun to see some of the things I created long time ago.
One of them was this cute crochet candy corn hat.

To be brutally honest, I tucked it away because I wasn’t sure if it was a win or fail.
I showed it to my husband. Maybe it’s his blind support of everything I do, but he told me it was cute and to send out into the world!

To be totally fair, I have a track record of being a bit off the mark. My Moon Cycle mobile totally looks like Oreos (whoops), and I almost didn’t even release my Plaid Moose Lovey because I wasn’t sure if it was cute enough (that pattern is my best seller!).

So hopefully you think this whimsical hat is cute for baby on Halloween! 😆
I made this hat with luscious Mighty Stitch, a soft, squishy acrylic and super wash wool blend.

Crochet Candy Corn Hat Construction:

Be sure all the ends are weaved in on your candy corn ear flaps. Pin the ear flap in place before you begin. Count 8 stitches to the right of the seam.Line up the flap so only the yellow rows are on the hat, with the rest hanging down.
The candy corn edge should be flush with the 7 st from the seam. Use the tail to sew up the side of the yellow stripe, across the yellow top and down the other side of the yellow stripe.

Repeat for the other flap , except attached the candy corn flap at 7 sts to the left of the seam.

Once both candy corn ear flaps are in place, you can finish with a pom-pom and tassels.
Need help making and attaching your pom-pom? See how here.

To make your tassels, cut 16 lengths of yarn from chin to arm with Cream. Take 8 of them and pull the ends through the tip of the candy corn flap. Pull so all the ends are equal lengths. Braid them and tie a trim not at the end. Clip the ends.

Do you have a favorite “too pretty” yarn that has been sitting in your stash for a while? This gorgeous gray Chroma Twist has been sitting on my shelf for far too long and I decided it was time to turn those hanks into a scrumptious and cozy fall accessory.

What do you think?

You guys know I love gray. This color features a lovely, moody ombre that moves from charcoal to light gray and back. (called “Wednesday” 😆)

The gray on gray with the Fable Fur is beautiful in my opinion but I think a bright, contrasting color would be wonderful as well. Fable Fur comes in a few bright colors, I might make another one using the color Paloma, a gorgeous blush color.

The fun thing about this crochet cowl is that you can completely change the look by using different yarns to make the stripes. I made a sampler with a few different yarn variations (scroll down to see them). I think all of them would work and create a completely different looks.

The effect is created by surface crochet. I am excited to show this technique to those of you who haven’t tried it yet. It’s EASY and has an amazing look.

Watch the video here.

COWL PATTERN

Notes:
Ch 1 does not count. Always work the first st in the same st as the chain and always join with the first st, not the chain.
This project requires 2 skeins, so try to join your second skein in a way that makes the color look seamless.

1. Begin with a chainless sc foundation that is 22″ long, 66 sts. Count does not matter a great deal here, just make sure it’s in multiples of 2. Join with first st.

2. Ch 1. *Hdc in next st. Ch 1. Sk next st* repeat for the entire round. Join with first st.

3. Ch 1. Sl st into next ch-1 space. Ch 1. *Hdc into ch-1 sp. Ch 1.* repeat for the entire round. Join with first st.

4. Ch 2. Reach backward and work a Hdc in last ch-1 sp of previous row. Ch 1. *Hdc in next ch-1 sp. Ch 1* repeat for the entire round. Join with first st. (make sure you don’t work in the final ch-1 sp because you already worked in that one at the beginning of the round.

5. – 32. To keep the seam from wandering left to right, you will repeat row 4 twice, then repeat row 3. Then repeat row 4 twice, following by repeating row 3 until you reach 32 total rows.

Weave in both ends.

You can see you have lovely diagonal holes, ready for your surface crochet.

I wasn’t quite sure which yarns I wanted to use so I put a few different rows onto the cowl. Honestly, I think each of these yarns would look amazing!
Ultimately because of the unique, cozy look I wanted it to have, I went with Fable Fur but I still think any of these yarns would be so lovely on this cowl.

Yarns from left to right:
Chroma Twist (Pixie) , Tuff Puff (Marina), Fable Fur (Lapin), Biggo (Bare)

To add the stripes (which ever yarn you choose), you will work a surface slip stitch from the top to the bottom.

See a video for how to work a surface sl st here.

I worked each row about 6 sts apart.

faux fur yarn trim crochet cowl free crochet pattern

From here, weave in the tails of the fur yarn (or whichever yarn you chose) by treading onto a large-eye plastic darner needle and weaving it back into the slip stitches. Weave them each in well and snip the ends.

I haven’t made too many cowls in the past, (I have a few) but I think my main mistake has been not making it narrow enough to snug around the neck, and not making it long enough! Seriously, the longer it is, the cozier it is!
You do you, make it as long as you like it to be!
