I grew up in a household where my mother would change the display on our front hall table, dining room table, and living room sideboard with the seasons. In the summer, we might have seashells artfully arranged in hurricane glasses. In the winter, there might be whitewashed branches with delicate glass ornaments hanging from their branches. My mom managed to evoke lovely moods with creative items found or made–on a budget. Since I don’t get to visit my parents’ house as often as I’d like, I add whimsical touches of the season to my own home now.
Knit, crochet, and craft your own decor items for the fall season. I’ve picked out 12 patterns that are great stash-busters (so you can clear space for more yarn!) as well as as items that can be made as a set (so you get the most mileage out of your yarn purchase).
For knitters who like the felt designs below: knit a large rectangle of wool, felt it well, and then cut out the leaf-designs to make your own version. Want to knit your own leaves? Click here for a stitch pattern.

aww they are all so adorable! I wish I could crochet but I just can’t wrap my head around it. Knitting sure np but crochet? nope 🙁

Hi Chele, don’t forget to check out the links to similar knit patterns in the comments or use my tips about knitting a piece of felt and then cutting the finished designs out of it above the wreaths section. There’s also a link to a knitted leaf pattern that can be adapted to use for many of these projects in that same section. Hope that helps!

SO CUTE! I’m opposite of Chele & crochet but just can’t get the hang of knitting. So I’m happy for crochet projects anytime. We need a balance of both in similar patterns please.
