Easy No-Knit Yarn Crafts for Fall

September 23, 2016 by Sarah White

diy fall yarn craftsOf 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.

    Thanks so much for the shout out! I bet your Christmas cones were beautiful! Now you have my wheels turning . . . Thanks, again.

Have you read?

Bookmark Knitting Patterns

It’s always a good time for a bookmark, and even more so as we start thinking about back to school time. Reading is more fun when you have a pretty bookmark. That’s just science. 

Plus bookmarks are fast, portable, and a fun way to try out different skills. So let’s get busy with some bookmark knitting patterns!

This set of three bookmark knitting patterns from Lucky Fox Knits includes one worked in garter stitch, an easy eyelet lace and one with eyelets running down the center. I love the little I-cord for the tassel!

Add a simple textured stitch to a bookmark to make it a little more fun. This one from Franciscan Gypsy is called the paper towel bookmark, and I’ll bet you can pick it out above just from that description. This one calls for fingering weight yarn. 

Another pretty allover pattern is this slip-stitch lace design from Handy Little Me. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Speak Now, it’s a sweet little design worked in fingering weight yarn. This one is a little extra fun because it has two tassels. 

I love this undulating wheat ear bookmark pattern from KMKnits Shop. It’s an interesting stitch pattern perfect for advanced beginner knitters, and it uses sport weight yarn. 

A lot of knit bookmarks have a bit of lace, and they’re actually a great way to pick up some lace knitting skills on a tiny project that doesn’t have to be perfect. I like this lacy one from Val Knitting Shop, which is inspired by daisy petals. It calls for fingering weight yarn. 

The Jasmine Bookmark from Valentina Fezova-Georgieva is another pretty lace pattern that’s a little more complex but still totally doable. It calls for fingering weight yarn and is available on Ravelry.

If you want a more literal inspiration of flowers in your bookmark pattern, try the pair of floral bookmarks form Warm and KnittedS. One has a little rosette and the other just has leaves. They look like I-cord but they’re actually worked flat on two needles and will stitch up in no time for a last minute gift or to tuck into your latest read.
