Nothing says “fall is here” like a handmade wreath on the front door — and crochet wreaths are some of the coziest ones you can make. From classic leaf-covered rings to mini pumpkins, acorns, and even a tiny mouse, these 13 free patterns cover every style of autumn decorating. One design comes with a video tutorial you can stitch along with; the rest are written patterns.
The ideas below were gathered from a roundup on crocht.com — every design belongs to its original designer, and I’ve credited each one so you can support their work directly.
What you’ll need
- A crochet hook — 4 to 5.5 mm covers most of these patterns
- Yarn in fall shades: rust, pumpkin orange, mustard, cranberry, brown, cream, olive
- A wreath form (foam, straw, wire, or grapevine) in 10 to 18 inches
- Scissors, a yarn needle, and stitch markers
- Polyester fiberfill for stuffed pieces like pumpkins and acorns
- Optional: floral wire, a hot glue gun, artificial berries, and ribbon for bows
13 Crochet Fall Wreath Free Patterns
Save1. Heart Crochet Autumn Leaves Wreath Pattern
Michele Wilcox’s design puts a fun spin on the classic wreath shape: a yarn-wrapped heart base dressed with crocheted leaves and acorns. Worked in a couple of easy stitches, it’s a cheerful way to splash fall colors across your front door.
Tip: stick to three or four autumn shades so the mixed leaves look harmonious instead of busy.
Save2. Autumn Crochet Wreath
Laura’s Art Design walks you through this one stitch by stitch in a full video tutorial. You’ll need a 4.5 mm hook, scissors, a darning needle, some stuffing, and an 18-inch wired wreath form — the finished piece is generously sized and looks lovely at a home’s entrance.

Tip: pin your stuffed pieces on the wired form before sewing so you can shuffle the layout first.
Save3. Halloween Wreath
Val Pierce’s Ravelry guide builds this one from lots of individual pieces — pumpkins, a ghost, a little witch, a spider web — that you assemble onto the ring. It sits right at the line between fall and Halloween, so one wreath covers both.
Tip: make the spooky pieces in a slightly different palette so they can come off after October 31, leaving a plain fall wreath.
Save4. The All Season Crochet Wreath
Erin made this all-seasons wreath with a fall edition: a quick base you can cozy up with autumn picks. Crochet the ring once, decorate it for fall now, and re-trim it for every season after.
Tip: keep the fall embellishments on pins or wire instead of glue so the swap between seasons takes minutes.
Save5. Fabulous Fall Crochet Wreath
Cheryl’s design is a beginner-friendly way to brighten up your space — a grapevine wreath ring dressed with mini crochet pumpkins and fall flowers. Gather the listed supplies and you can start right away.
Tip: twist-tie the pumpkins to the grapevine first, step back, and check the balance before fixing anything permanently.
Save6. Mornings of Autumn Crochet Wreath
Sewrella’s wreath is a welcoming door piece you can finish in a few sittings: a clean cream base with maple leaves in different sizes, oak leaves, a pumpkin, an acorn, and a big bow. It photographs beautifully too.
Tip: mix leaf sizes deliberately — the contrast between big and small leaves is what gives this wreath its full, happy look.
Save7. Crochet Fabulous Fall Wreath Pattern
Heather Lodinsky’s design is for intermediate crocheters: acorns, grapes, and leaves clustered onto a straw wreath form for a rich harvest look. Each motif is small, so the project travels well.
Tip: work the little motifs in assembly-line batches, then arrange them on the ring in one satisfying session.
Save8. Simple Autumn Wreath
Thomasina C’s little 7-to-8-inch wreath proves good things come in small packages — and the tiny crocheted mouse tucked among the leaves is the detail everyone will ask about. A bow tops it off; artificial berries and extra embellishments can make it even prettier.
Tip: hang it somewhere eye-level, like a mirror or an interior door — the mouse deserves to be noticed.
Save9. DIY Autumn Harvest Wreath
Worked in sturdy Lily Sugar’n Cream cotton solids, this autumn harvest wreath is a must-have for the season. Cotton is a smart pick for wreaths — it holds its shape and wears well year after year.
Tip: cotton shows off stitch texture beautifully, so keep your tension even across the base.
Save10. Multicolored Maple Wreath
Apeksha Prasad leans into Irish crochet style with this one: a whole spectrum of multicolored maple leaves worked into a joyful wreath. It’s a fun project and a great excuse to burn through your autumn-colored scraps.
Tip: sort your leaves by color family before attaching — a loose gradient around the ring looks intentional and bright.
Save11. DIY Simple Fall Wreath
Thefoxtaillane’s take reattempts Repeat Crafter Me’s classic method with a few changes: work chains into rows of different colors, wrap the striped piece around a foam form, and finish with the details. Simple, sturdy, and very approachable.
Tip: change colors every few rows for a striped base that looks great even before the embellishments go on.
Save12. Modern Autumn Crochet Wreath
Sarah-Jayn’s free guide takes a modern route: crochet a few different pieces — a pumpkin, leaves, flowers — then mix and match them on a simple ring for your own unique display. The minimalist base keeps the focus on the colors.
Tip: lay out all your finished pieces on the ring and rearrange until the balance feels right before attaching.
Save13. “Ta-dah” Crochet Wreath
Lucy of Attic24 calls this one “Ta-dah” for the joyful moment when the last motif goes on. Simple details made it so named: crochet a set number of autumn motifs — leaves, acorns, berries — and fill the ring with them. It may not look easy, but it’s just motifs in specific numbers, and the full, exuberant result is worth it.
Tip: make more motifs than you think you’ll need — a full, generous wreath is the whole point of this one.
Caring for your crochet fall wreath
- Hang it sheltered: A covered porch or indoor wall keeps colors bright for years — direct sun and rain will fade and felt the yarn.
- Dust regularly: A quick pass with a lint roller or a cool hairdryer keeps textured stitches looking fresh.
- Spot clean only: Dab with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry — never machine wash a finished wreath.
- Store it flat or hanging: Tuck it in a breathable bag or box with tissue paper between seasons; don’t stack heavy items on top.
- Refresh yearly: Re-fluff stuffed pieces and re-tighten any loose embellishments each fall before hanging.
That’s all 13 — whether you want a quick weekend make or a month-long labor of love, there’s a wreath here with your name on it. Happy fall crocheting!
