August’s Featured Patterns
As summer slowly gives way to autumn, we start putting away the summer thrills and look forward to fall leaves, crisper, cooler air, more oranges, browns, and sages. Apples filling our fruit bowls, and hay with scarecrows that start to accent the landscape.
That’s when it’s time to find those special patterns that will copy nature like our Apple Harvest Placemat, or Autumn Fields Pillow, that will have you dreaming of running in the wheat fields.
Now is the time to start on larger projects, like the Autumn Blessings Runner, where pumpkins and leaves are outlined, if desired. It’s the perfect table or entry table accessory! The Heirloom Sampler Table Topper is a beautiful piece that can be handed down from generation to generation.
If you’re thinking Christmas, it’s never too early, and therefore the time to grab that mantel pattern, like our Classic Pineapple Mantle scarf, which can be displayed throughout the year, but it’s especially pretty for Christmas!
Then, of course, if you still want to hang onto summer, be sure to crochet Rays of Hope Doily, a favorite with an easy and beautiful design that is like a burst of sunlight. Or if you’re like many and have a love of flowers, the Primrose Garden Doily is a must! If you love crinolines, I’ve got you covered. The Serendipity Crinoline Doily, or Ms Mum Crinoline Girl Doily, are fun projects that you just can’t say no to!
Apple Harvest Placemat
Our large crochet apple-shaped place mat is trimmed with a green “leaf” napkin inserted through the weave of the stem for a unique place setting.
Rays of Hope Doily
With diamond points and an outward burst of color, this easy crochet doily is aptly named. Simple stitches create a burst of hope in a fall color but can be worked up in any color to suit your home decor.
Autumn Fields Pillow
Create a lovely fall accent pillow for your home. Popcorn & post stitches create a textured wheat chaff as the focal point, and then trimmed with a raffia bow.
Primrose Garden Doily
This sweet spring-themed doily includes a pretty rose center encircled by sweet pineapples and then surrounded by even more roses with a delicate and lacy edging.
Pineapple Mantel Scarf
Classic pineapples lend beauty to this traditional-style scarf accented with tassels. There’s nothing as pretty and traditional as pineapples, and they start at the beginning and finish off in eight tapered points.
Autumn Blessings Runner
Pretty fall leaves & robust pumpkins create a lovely crochet runner in filet! Pumpkins and leaves can be outlined as shown above by using a chain stitch in varying fall colors of your choice.
Heirloom Sampler Table Topper
This beautiful crochet sampler features many favorite stitch combinations, including the pineapple, spider web stitch, and pinwheel, creating a lovely piece you’ll want handed down through the generations!
Serendipity Crinoline Doily
A guiding light…or a simple flicker of flame, our cute crinoline circle doily boasts six dainty crinolines holding lanterns. A simple but beautiful spider web design is used for the skirts, and each lantern includes a candle inside.
Ms Mum Crinoline Girl Doily
Ruffled like scallops complement and highlight this full skirt edged in pineapples and trimmed in ribbon bows! The bonnet brim is accented with chrysanthemums for November’s birthday girl.
