Easy No-Knit Yarn Crafts for Fall

Of course we are all here because we love knitting, but every now and then you want to do something with yarn that doesn’t involve knitting or crochet.

Yarncraft projects are a great way to use up yarn leftovers or balls that you bought or were given that might not be colors or textures you want to use in your knitting projects but they’re great for home decor.

Crafts ‘N Coffee has a nice collection of fall themed yarn crafts including yarn-wrapped cones topped with pom-poms (I’ve done the same sort of thing for Christmas but not for fall). She also has some cute yarn wreaths that use fall colors and felt leaves.

I know I have some orange yarns I probably wouldn’t ever knit with, but they would be really cute in a project like this.

What do you think? Do you do yarn crafts that aren’t knitting? I’d love to hear about it.

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
