Top FREE Fall Crochet Patterns

It’s that time of year again…

It is that time of year again. Summer is coming to an end. The warm summer breeze has turned to crisp autumn air, your favorite iced coffee magically changes in to a pumpkin spice latte and those bright green leaves have turned vibrant shades of red, orange, brown, and yellow. This can only mean one thing…. FALL MARKETS ARE UPON US! What an exciting time for new and veteran markets vendors alike. If you’re like me ( and if you’ve found this post, then you are) finding the perfect fall patterns can be overwhelming.

Spending Too Much Money

I am not ashamed to admit, though a bit more in debt because of it, I have spent much of my own personal money to purchase yarn as well as patterns to make for the various seasons and holiday festivities. While these patterns are cute and sell well enough, I had remained in the red for profit margins because of my spending habits. If you are just starting out, it is not a great idea to start off in debt for your business as it can be difficult to climb out of said debt ( trust me on this, I’ve been through it so you don’t have to). The best case scenario is to be able to make as much money as possible while spending as little as possible.

The Solution…

Fortunately for you, I have compiled 15 free crochet patterns to get you started on your fall market preparations! I have scoured the internet to find some of the fall season’s cutest crochet plushie, wearable, and accessory patterns to get you ready to go when you sign up for your first market for the season, which should be right around the corner! I want to give a preface before I share these patterns: these patterns have been made available for free by the respective creators. Please consider supporting them as they have graciously provided their talent with all of us to enjoy. I also want to state, many of these free versions of said patterns do have paid options available if you prefer to have your own copy. For more information on how to obtain the paid versions of the pattern, check out the creator’s content.

The Patterns:

I have broken my post down into three different categories of where I found the crochet patterns: Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube. To help you find the pattern, I have also provided a link to directly access your favorites. Now, without further ado, here are 15 FREE FALL CROCHET PATTERNS:

Last but certainly not least for our Instagram patterns is “Sunny the Jellyfish” by @rainbowcraftcollective. When I think of sunflowers, I think of fall. Not sure why, but that is the flower I first think of for autumnal flowers. Thus jellyfish is a fun spin on the typical flower pattern which I’m sure many will enjoy. Did I mention it’s free?
