Crochet Textured Shells Scarf, Written Pattern and Video Tutorial

If you're an advanced beginner in crochet looking to tackle a project that’s both simple yet stunning, the Textured Shells Scarf is perfect for you! 

With its flowing design and elegant texture, this scarf is a versatile accessory that adds warmth and style to any wardrobe. 

The Textured Shells Scarf uses a combination of basic and slightly more complex stitches (front post double crochets), making it an excellent step up from beginner-level projects. 

You'll practice foundational techniques while exploring new ways to create texture and interest.

The yarn I used is Alize Angora Gold (20% wool, 80% acrylic). I used two skeins in color Green Almond. 

This yarn is available on Amazon!

Its soft halo effect creates a lightweight yet warm scarf. 

The hook size is E (3.5 mm). 

The finished measurements are about 70 inches long and 11 inches wide. 

Despite its lacy appearance, this scarf is warm and perfect for winter. 

The secret lies in the yarn’s composition: the acrylic provides durability, while the wool adds warmth and softness. 

The 3D shell stitch not only looks stunning but is also fun and satisfying to crochet.

The Textured Shells Scarf is crafted using a simple, two-row repeat. This makes it a relaxing project to work on while still producing an impressive result.

Written Pattern: Available in my Etsy and Ravelry shops for easy download.

Crochet Maple Leaves with YarnArt Begonia: A Perfect Autumn Project

This autumn, I wanted to bring the beauty of falling leaves into my home through crochet. Using YarnArt Begonia, a 100% mercerized cotton yarn (category 2), and a 3.5 mm crochet hook, I created these gorgeous crochet maple leaves. 

Each leaf measures about 7 by 6 inches, making them large enough to stand out as individual pieces or combined into larger projects like garlands or table settings.

YarnArt Begonia is a fantastic yarn to work with, especially for delicate, detailed projects like these leaves. The 100% mercerized cotton provides the right amount of structure for the leaf shape. With its category 2 weight, the yarn is lightweight yet durable, perfect for items that need a bit of definition, like these maple leaves.

Check out YarnArt Begonia Yarn on Amazon!

I used a 3.5 mm crochet hook, which allowed me to achieve the perfect balance between flexibility and firmness. The leaves are soft enough to be pliable, yet firm enough to maintain their shape.

From just one skein of YarnArt Begonia, I managed to create five crochet maple leaves. That makes this yarn not only a joy to work with but also quite economical for such a project. Each leaf took a small amount of yarn, and the quality of the mercerized cotton ensures that they’ll last for many seasons to come.

These crochet maple leaves are versatile and can be used in numerous ways.

String them together to make a beautiful autumn garland. 

Use them as coasters or as table decor for a cozy fall setting. 

Add a leaf as an appliqué to blankets, pillows, or bags.

Whether you’re looking for a new autumn-inspired crochet project or wanting to add a unique touch to your fall decor, these crochet maple leaves are a great option.

Cozy Fall Granny Squares: Crochet Pattern and Step-by-Step Tutorial

As the autumn begins to set in, I found myself inspired by nature’s gorgeous colors for my latest crochet project—granny squares! I chose 100% mercerized cotton yarn in beautiful shades of yellow, orange, and brown, reflecting the warm and cozy tones of the season. 

Check out this yarn on Amazon! 

Using a 3.5 mm (E) crochet hook, the cotton's smooth texture brought out the vibrant fall hues perfectly, making each square a tiny celebration of autumn.

These granny squares are versatile, perfect for table runners, blankets, pillows, or even scarves, adding a touch of handmade warmth to your space as the weather cools down. 

I love how the classic granny square pattern allows the rich colors to shine and makes each stitch feel like a connection to the season’s beauty.
