15 Fun Fall Crochet Patterns to Start in August
August is that in-between—still sun-drenched but whispering of crisp mornings ahead. It’s the perfect time to start crafting pieces that carry you into fall with warmth, whimsy, and intention. Whether you’re stocking up for markets, refreshing your home with seasonal charm, or simply seeking that therapeutic “stitch and sip” moment with a mug of cider, these 15 fall crochet patterns offer comfort in every loop.
Most are free (we love a budget-friendly make), and all are beginner-accessible or gently challenging—ideal for building your skills while creating something beautiful. You’ll find cozy wearables, charming decor, and quick giftables, curated to suit the mood of falling leaves and flickering candles.
