Want to infuse your crochet with some cuteness? Crochet designers have recently released some fabulous new patterns ranging from elegant and eye catching to distractingly adorable. As you plan your fall projects, you might want to take a look at these patterns. You can hook up many of these in just a day, which is always nice! And can we talk about the amigurumi patterns? On top of how speedy they can be to make, they’re cute, and they (that billy goat in particular) are gorgeous!

1. I knit this bottom up with scraps and ran out of black yarn. If the vest consistently drifts down her chest upon wear, I might extend the collar or redo the chest panel at a smaller size. If you’ve read this far, what do you think? As a designer, I so rarely get to improvise a knitting project, and I’m having fun working with fewer rules than usual. 🧶
