Fall Crochet

I continue to crochet using yarn scraps, but I've switched to making owls and pumpkins for fall. 

This owl was made using a 4 mm hook with worsted weight Bernat Handicrafter cotton yarn following this free pattern by blogger Divine Debris with a couple small changes. I omitted the wings and added ear tufts. I still have lots of cotton yarn, so might crochet a couple more. Owls make great gifts for little ones.

These pumpkins were made using a 3.5 mm hook with bulky Bernat Alpaca yarn in natural and tundra following this free pattern by blogger June on PlanetJune. I made some pumpkins last year in this size (3.5" across) and larger by simply doubling the pattern, but gave them all away. Luckily, I still have enough yarn to make a couple more. White pumpkins are great for both fall and winter decorating.

 

I like using yarn scraps. It's practical and fun making each owl unique. I think this owl looks great from both the front and back in this mix of colours. I want to make more.

I am currently working on another owl in slightly different colours as my Fall Crochet continues. I will be sure to share photos when it's done.
