Granny Stitch Pumpkin

There is something so classically beautiful about the granny stitch. It makes such a unique, lovely stitch, so it’s no surprise that crocheters like to incorporate it into nearly everything. These Granny Stitch Pumpkins by MJ’s Off The Hook Designs are no exception! The combination of the classic granny square stitch and the rich colors of teals, greens, browns, and creams create a rustic, cozy, fall style to die for! The addition of the cinnamon stick stems and the jute twine bows really adds a professional touch as well as an extra feeling of autumn.

For a rustic, handmade touch to your fall decor, why not give this Crochet Fall Garland by Kim at The Caffeinated Snail a try?

Pumpkin Spice Throw Blanket

You could probably get me to buy pretty much anything as long as it had the words “Pumpkin Spice” in the title, so I definitely had to include this Pumpkin Spice Throw Blanket by Amanda Crochets in this roundup! Not only is it a gorgeous throw, but she says it is a beginner-friendly pattern as well! Crochet patterns that look much more difficult than they are tend to be some of the best projects. She also gives some instruction for how to create this throw in various sizes, so it’s customizable as well! In addition to a free pattern, she does also include a paid PDF version option as well.

Crochet Gnomes

The more I see various crochet gnome patterns on the web, the more I fall in love with them. They are all so unique and so dang adorable! That being said, this Crochet Gnome Tutorial by Back to Eden Crochet is a must-make for the upcoming fall season. The bulky, plushy yarn means these guys will work up quickly, and you’ll have these charming, mischievous gnomes to decorate with in no time!

Watch the YouTube video tutorial here.

Choosing the right yarn for your project can be a daunting task, especially with so many options out there to choose from. Bulky, chunky yarns can be used for blankets, scarves, cowls, etc, or for anything you want to give some extra bulk and warmth to. However, a nice, soft cotton or worsted weight yarn works for pretty much everything as well, so don’t shy away from these if you prefer to work with this kind of yarn. I sure do!

Also, don’t be afraid to mix and match from your current yarn stash. While I do love shopping for yarn for a new project, it can also be quite satisfying to craft something with yarn you already have lying around. Plus, if your stash runs out, it just means you need more yarn again and get to go shopping for it! Win-win.

Each designer of these beautiful patterns also listed the type of yarn they use in their instructions. I have listed the links for them below for easier browsing. Take a look through the various types of yarns and colors below, and see what sparks some inspiration!

Cozy Wool Yarn by Loops & Threads

Bernat Softee Chunky Solids (Super Bulky)

Brava Worsted Yarn

Mary Maxin Starlette Worsted Weight Yarn

Simple Alpaca by Knit Picks

Cascade Yarns

Wander Yarn

Paintbox Yarns

Stylecraft Special Aran

Premier Puzzle Yarn

And that’s our roundup of fall crochet patterns for the week! I hope these amazing patterns from all of these talented crochet pattern designers have inspired you to get your hook and get crafting for the fall season! I’m already dreaming of pumpkin spice…

Types of Yarn to Use

Each crochet pattern listed above will list the type of yarn or yarns they used when creating their bag charms. However, depending on how much wear and tear it will be subjected to, you may want to consider using various yarns for your bag charm:

  • Cotton yarn will be more durable and could last longer
  • Acrylic yarn is softer and may fray or show wear faster and easier.

You should also consider using a smaller/thinner weighted yarn and smaller hook to create even smaller versions of each bag charm. Adorable!

  • Satisfyingly Fast Project- Intensive, intricate crochet projects are great, but there is nothing quite like being able to crochet something from start to finish in 30 minutes or so.
  • Great Gift Idea/Stocking Stuffer- Because they work up so quickly, you could create a lot of them in a short amount of time! They make excellent gift ideas to bring a little nostalgia to the ones you love.

Crochet Hand Position: Different Ways to Crochet!

When you are new to crochet, you may be wondering: what is the correct way to hold a crochet hook? What should my hand position look like? This week, we’re going to talk about crochet hand positions!

crochethandposition

In the world of crochet, you will find so much versatility. From the way crochet pattern designers write and format their patterns to the preferences for types of yarn or how to hold a crochet hook, there will never be a shortage of differences in your pursuit of learning crochet. While it’s important to understand the variations and acknowledge the differences in other crocheters’ preferences, keep in mind that whatever feels right to you is the right way! Today, though, let’s dive into the crochet hand positions you may come across as you’re learning. Happy wishes and cozy stitches!

This post is all about crochet hand positions.

Crochet Hand Position: Different Ways to Crochet!

Crochet Hooks

First, let’s talk about crochet hooks. There are so many different kinds of crochet hooks out there, and they range from very inexpensive to ridiculously expensive. It can be overwhelming to choose the best crochet hooks when you are just starting out. Well, I’m here to tell you: go cheap!

You don’t need the fanciest crochet hooks on the market to learn to crochet. In fact, you should do the opposite! You can buy a set of Boye or Susan Bates aluminum crochet hooks for a small investment. As you build your crochet skills, you can gradually add more expensive crochet hooks into your collection. Or don’t! Honestly, some of my favorite crochet hooks to this day are the cheap Susan Bates ones I learned on.

You can find the Susan Bates aluminum hooks here.

You can find the Boye aluminum hooks here.

Knives Up, or Pencils Down! The Two Main Hand Positions

When learning to crochet, there are two main ways to hold a crochet hook that you will come across. The first position is the “knife” position, and the second is the “pencil” position. As their names suggest, these positions describe the way your hand position resembles the way you hold a knife or a pencil.

Knives Up

knifeholdcrochet

As you can see in the image above, the crochet hook is held between the thumb and index finger, with the hook end pointing up toward the ceiling.

This is the “knife” hold or hand position.

differentwaystoholdacrochethook

The knife hold looks a lot like this picture here!

Pencils Down

crochethandpositionforbeginnersstepbystep

As you can see in the picture above, the crochet hook is held with the hook end pointed down, similar to the way you hold a pencil.

pencilholdcrochet

 

The ways in which the crochet hook can be held are as vast and varied as the crocheters themselves! I have seen some very creative and interesting ways people have come up with to handle their hook. However, these are the two main crochet hand positions people stick to, with maybe some minor variations between them.

Chances are, you will most likely hold the crochet hook the way the person who taught you to crochet holds their hook. For example, my mother taught me to crochet when I was young, and she held her crochet hook in the knife position. As a result, I used this crochet hand position for every project when I was first learning to crochet, and it is still my most preferred method today.

However, no matter which way you learn, try them both! You may find that you prefer one crochet hand position over the other. Some people can even comfortably switch back and forth between the two positions.

While you will come across many different ways to hold your crochet hook and yarn, keep in mind that, at the end of the day, the way that feels the most comfortable to you is the only right way! That’s one of the beautiful things about crochet. We all do it a little bit differently, but we can all create absolute magic by tying knots into yarn with a hook.

What is your preferred crochet hand position? Share below!

Now, let’s get started!

This post is for a free crochet towel holder pattern.

Free Crochet Towel Holder Pattern

Supplies You Will Need:

  • Crochet hook: 5.00 mm
  • Worsted weight yarn in any color(s) you choose
  • 4 ” wooden rings (I found mine on Amazon)
  • Yarn needle
  • Stitch marker
  • Scissors

Crochet Abbreviations:

  • Sc- Single Crochet
  • St(s)- Stitch(es)
  • Sl st- Slip Stitch
  • FO- Fasten Off
  • Dc- Double Crochet
  • Tr- Treble Crochet

Towel Holder

1. Sc 21 stitches around the wooden ring. Ch 1 and turn.

2. Sc in first stitch, *skip 2 sc, [1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc] in next sc, skip 2 sc, 1 sc in next st, ch 3, 1 sc in next st**.

Repeat from * to ** one more time, then: skip 2 sc, [1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc] in next st, skip 2 sc, sc in last stitch, turn

3. Ch 7 (this will count as a tr and 3 ch), *[1sc, ch 3, 1 sc] in middle dc of shell (this is one picot stitch), ch 3, 1 dc in next ch 3 arch, ch 3**.

Repeat from * to ** once more, then: [1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc] (picot) in middle dc of next shell, ch 3, skip next dc, tr in last stitch, turn

4. Ch 1, 1 sc in tr, *skip next ch 3 space, [1dc, ch 1, 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc] in center of next picot stitch, skip next ch 3 space, [1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc] (picot) in next dc**

Basically, we are now going to repeat Row 3 and 4 until we reach the desired length. This stitch seems more confusing than it is, I promise! Once you grasp these two steps, you will master this stitch in no time.

5. Repeat Row 3

6. Repeat Row 4

7. Repeat Row 3

8. Repeat Row 4

You can make the length as long or as short as you like. If you’d like to make your towel holder longer, continue alternating repeat rows of 3 and 4 until you reach the desired length. Be sure to end on a “Row 4” repeat to keep the finished folded length even.

Finishing Up:

Now, we just need to sew the other end of our crochet towel holder to the second wooden ring!

  • Cut a length of yarn that is at least 30 inches in length and pull the last stitch of the last round through to secure.
  • With a yarn needle, wrap the yarn around the wooden ring, and pass it through each stitch along the last row. Keep the stitches around the ring tidy and pulled tightly as you work.
  • Weave in all loose ends

And there we have it! A super simple, super customizable and versatile crochet towel holder! Wrap it around your fridge handle, your oven, a towel rack, or whatever!

I love the lacy, cottage look of the open shell and picot stitch, and I love the touch it brings to my kitchen. I’ll definitely be making some of these as gifts as well!
