Anyone else starting to turn their attention to autumn yet? I’m not quite pumpkin spice latte ready yet but being stuck at home healing a broken ankle has me feeling less summer fun and more cozy – and with six weeks to recovery, I’m looking ahead to September all the more. And as a fiber artist, that means I’m thinking about my yarn and what fall patterns I’d like to make.

Today I’m going to highlight some aspirational patterns in my Ravelry Favorites. These are five patterns I’ve coveted for awhile that are giving fall vibes for sure.

Obviously fall vibes equals sweater weather. I love the texture on this pullover by Kiks and Jack. They design their wearable patterns a little differently than other designers with an aim of being completely size inclusive which is so intriguing. I’ve crocheted one cardigan so far (shout out to the Kima cardi by TL Yarn crafts) and definitely still consider myself a sweater n00b so I’m looking at this beginner sweater pattern by them to try first.

I’ve been drooling over this hooded cowl for about as long as I’ve been crocheting. I don’t buy myself a lot of paid patterns so I haven’t gotten there yet but it is so dreamy looking and it sounds like it’s made with relatively simple stitches. Plus the pattern has a high rating on Ravelry so if you are looking to treat yourself, this one looks promising.

This angler fish hat pattern by Crochetverse makes me laugh so hard. This is another paid pattern and honestly this hat is so intricate that I can hardly begrudge them the money. My experience with amigurumi tells me this is probably an intermediate pattern but not as difficult as it looks. This could be a fun pattern for Halloween.

Cottagecore lovers, eat your heart out. I fell down a rabbit hole of mushroom inspired bags last year and this backpack by Whimsi Row made my jaw drop. The texture details are so gorgeous and my teenager and I would probably be fighting over who got to use it. This is another paid pattern that absolutely looks worth the price but has kept me wishing and dreaming for now.

I have a love hate relationship with Granny squares but this one is beautiful and I love how it looks on this large pillow. I’ve made a couple pillow covers now and this one would be high on my list for a future project. You can buy the ad free pattern or get it free with ads on her blog. I’ve seen a few variations of this with smaller granny squares stitched together but I personally like the effect of this one.
