I’ve always wanted to crochet. I look at some of the amazing things that my friends have created and I used to think ‘I wish I could do something like that’. I really enjoy crafts but crochet is something that I had never had a go at before up until the past few months. Now I can’t get enough of the hooks! I have kitted out the family with crocheted hats and scarves and I have finally finished off my autumnal bunting.
I get a lot of my inspiration from Youtube and use a lot of tutorials that people kindly pop up for us to follow. One of my favourites is Laura and her channel HappyBerry Crochet. I definitely recommend checking her out if like me you are a newbie crocheter!
I made these lovely oak design leaves from Laura’s tutorial which then inspired me to make an autumnal bunting to put above our stove in the kitchen.
A cheerful bunting full of autumnal colours
I did the oak leaves in shades of green and brown and the additional leaf in red. To break up the bunting I added a few brightly coloured pumpkins to finish it off.
It is so simple and really brightens up our kitchen on a dark and dreary day. I am becoming quite addicted to this crochet malarkey! Now to get planning another project.
Have you been working on a crochet project?
This is gorgeous! Love the colours. I did a crochet morning course earlier this year but didn’t really get it! You’ve just inspired me to have another go! #MMBC
Thank you Jo! So happy that I have inspired you and can’t wait to see what you make. 🙂
That is so pretty! What a lovely addition to your home. You are so talented x
Congrats on teaching yourself to crochet. Your bunting is so appropriate for autumn. #MMBC
These look brilliant! I’ve forgotten how to crochet and hadn’t thought of looking at YouTube for instructions. Great idea – thank you :o)

Ahhh! You finished it. I’ve been looking forward to seeing your crochet bunting. It looks perfect against the stone too. I bet it makes you smile every time you go into the kitchen. Love seasonal crafting. #MMBC
Hi, I love this bunting wonderful cosy colours. I really should give crocheting a try #mmbc
I love what you have done and the colours. Even better I am over the moon as I used to crochet as a child and thought I would be too dim to get back to it but you have given me hope it is doable as a grown-up type person #MMBC
this is extreamly cute with lovely autum colours
I love this! I need to learn to crochet and knit – a skill I wish i’d learnt when I was younger.
This is so beautiful! I am going to send this to my friend for inspiration as she loves to crochet.
It’s nice to have a hobby , I used to knit a bit but I don’t really get time now
