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!

Pattern Notes:

This pattern is worked up in long panels and single crocheted together. Depending on the yarn you use, blocking may be required. This pattern can also be widened by a multiple of 23+8 for each repeat of the width. I will mark the pattern as such.

To modify the pattern to make other items consider the following:

• Scarf: only make one panel
• Afghan: work up multiple panels in various colours and sc together
• Placemat: shorten the length of the panels to your desired width

Materials:

• 5.0mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry needle
• Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in the following colours:
  • Gold
  • Carrot
  • Burgundy
  • Coffee (for edging)

Gauge:

4” x 4” (10 cm x 10 cm) 12 sc and 15 rows with a 5.0 mm crochet hook

Abbreviations:

SC: Single crochet

DC: Double crochet

YO: Yarn over

DC2TOG / DC DEC: DC two sts together, dc decrease

GUIDE: (Yo, insert hook, yo, draw loop through, yo, draw through 2 loops on hook) in next 2 sts, yo, draw through all loops on hook. 

DC INC: DC increase, 

GUIDE: 2 dc in next st

Ch: Chain

Sts : Stitches

Measurements:

Each panel is approx. 5in wide using the same yarn/hook as below. The length is up to you but I will suggest standard sizing depending on your project. 

If you are adjusting the yarn & hook, make sure you work a test patch to see how your gauge is working out and then adjust. 

Below are standard sizes as you consider adjusting the pattern:

3 panels wide (15in), length approx. 80in
