Fall Themed Knitting Patterns

September 12, 2023 by Sarah White

There are all sorts of great things you can knit in the fall, from pumpkins to fun fall-themed hats (which we’ll get to), to home accessories and even sweaters with a fall twist. Here are a few fall-themed knitting patterns for you to make while you anticipate cooler days ahead.

The Pumpkin Chevron Knit Blanket from The Knitting Hour on Etsy of course wouldn’t have to be knit in orange, but it is pretty in that color. It uses worsted weight yarn and the chevron pattern is made with knit and purl stitches. The blanket has a simple seed stitch border and comes out to 48 inches square, perfect for a throw for the back of the couch.

Have a Halloween or fall baby in the family? Stitch up the Pumpkin Baby Blanket, from Not Just Nanas Knit on Ravelry. This colorwork blanket uses DK weight yarn and is about 23.5 by 27.5 inches (60 by 70 cm) but the pumpkin takes up most of that space so you could easily make it bigger if you want by adding more white space around the design.

If you need a fall-themed pillow to go with your fall-themed blanket, check out the autumn leaf pillow, a free pattern from Love and Crochet. It uses worsted weight yarn and is worked flat in two pieces, with the vein stitching added before sewing up into a pillow.

How about a pumpkin cowl to wear for all your fall activities? This one is from My Comforting Crafts on Etsy and uses worsted weight yarn. It comes in four sizes, from toddler to adult, and the designer also has a hat pattern using the same colorwork design if you’d like a matched set.

This vintage-look pumpkin sweater is the perfect thing to wear to any fall gathering. Designed by Knitting Glitter and available on Ravelry, it uses three colors of DK weight yarn (or two if you don’t want to stitch green stems on the pumpkins) and is made to measure so you can make sure that it will fit you perfectly.

Bucket Hat Knitting Patterns

As I was starting to write this post I thought that it was true that I’d never done a roundup of bucket hat knitting patterns before. But then I looked, and I actually did one last year (which you can find here) but there are plenty of cute bucket hats to do another post about, right? 

The one that made me want to write about this (again) is the Red Heart Knit Fanfare Bucket Hat from Yarnspirations. This cute striped hat can be worked in team colors, and while I might prefer a non-acrylic yarn for a summer hat, it would be fine when it’s not too hot outside (or try a cotton yarn instead). 

Claire Slade’s Sunlit Bucket Hat has an angled brim to help keep the sun out of your eyes. It’s worked from the bottom up using worsted weight cotton yarn, and comes in three sizes. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. 

Get a little air flow in your bucket hat with the Shady Bucket Hat from Wool & Beyond. This one uses DK weight yarn and an eyelet pattern throughout the body to keep it cool. It comes in sizes ranging from newborn to adult large, and is worked in one piece from the top down. You can grab the pattern (in English or Swedish) on Ravelry. 

If you’re looking for a fun, floppy sun hat for kids or adults, this pattern from Muki Crafts is a little more slouchy than a traditional bucket hat but it’s super cute. It comes in baby, toddler and bigger kid sizes and adult. I uses worsted weight yarn and is worked from the bottom up. 

Another variation on the classic bucket is this one that’s more of a cloche style. Made by branda, it uses bulky yarn so it’s more of a winter bucket hat, but now’s a fine time to knit it if you live somewhere that’s warm right now (or even more so if you live somewhere that’s cold right now). 

Another one to get you ready for colder weather is Tirmety, a two-layer bucket hat from ViTalina Craft, which has a textured stitch pattern on one side and stockinette on the other. You can wear either side out or even make them different colors if you want. The pattern is sized for toddlers, kids and adults. 

And if you want to add some extra cuteness to your bucket hat, I love this (of course totally optional but also totally adorable) embroidered deatila on the New York Bucket Hat from Pauline Fanguin. It uses two strands of DK weight yarn held together for extra sturdiness, and uses changes in needle size to shape the hat. Of course you could also knit stripes or use different textures of yarn to change up the look. This pattern is made to fit your head and is available in French and English.
