Happy Wednesday my fellow crafters!
We’ve just stepped into September, and while Halloween is still a little ways off, it’s never too early to start on some fun seasonal projects!
I designed a set of three spooky-cute brooches – a Pumpkin, Frankenstein, and an Eye.
Today, I’m sharing the free patterns for two of them: the Pumpkin and the Eye!
These tiny accessories are quick to make, beginner-friendly, and a perfect way to add a playful touch to your fall wardrobe, bags, or even gift them as little party favors. The best part? They’re small projects that can be whipped up in no time and are great for using up yarn scraps.
And if you’d like to complete the trio, the full pattern (Pumpkin + Eye + Frankenstein) is available in my Etsy shop. It features more than 40 step-by-step pictures, schematics, and tips to help you along the way.
Happy crocheting!
***You can purchase a downloadable AD-FREE PDF of the pattern - 8 pages with more than 40 step-by-step pictures, and tips to guide you through the making process on Etsy HERE !
