All About Autumn Decor

There are many ways to spruce up your holiday decor but for some reason dressing up the table feels the most “homey”. I can’t really pinpoint why – especially because we barely use our table now with the little kiddo running around. Nonetheless, dressing up the table with handmade goodies has always made me smile. This is a simple Autumn pattern that can take you all the way through Thanksgiving. It’s also a pretty adaptable pattern where you can modify to make a throw (by adding more panels) or skinny it down to make a scarf (single panel!), couch pillow… endless choices. This is a 7 row repeat so grab your crochet hook and your remote, we can get this one done on auto-pilot!

Enjoy!

UPDATE November 2024:

I hope that you’re enjoying your current knitting projects. It has been such a pleasure sharing my patterns with you and seeing your creativity bring them to life.

After much thought, I have made the difficult decision to no longer offer my patterns for free. This was not an easy choice—designing and sharing these patterns has always been a passion of mine and a way to connect with this amazing community.

However, the time, effort, and resources required to create, test, and perfect each pattern are significant. To continue bringing you high-quality, unique designs and to support the sustainability of my work, I will now be offering my patterns for purchase on Etsy.

I am incredibly grateful for your support over the years. Your kind words, encouragement, and enthusiasm mean so much to me. I hope you’ll continue to enjoy my patterns and support this new chapter.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of this journey.
