6 Ten-Minute Fall Accessories

Tip: work them snugly so they grip the button and don’t slide around.
Save2. Crochet Sunflower Bag Charm
A cheerful mini sunflower that clips onto your bag or keys. Built from basic stitches — chain, single crochet, double crochet, and increases — so it’s a great beginner-friendly project with a lovely textured petal finish.
Tip: add a lobster clasp to the back so you can move it from bag to bag.
Save3. DIY Autumn Leaf Keychain
Three intricately stitched little leaves in festive autumn shades, grouped onto a keychain ring. It’s a wonderful scrap-yarn project — each leaf works up fast, and together they make a charming fall accessory.

Save6. Under 10 Minutes Crochet Eyeball Rose
A creepy-cute crochet rose with a plastic eyeball at its center — perfect for Halloween decor, spooky bouquets, or gothic gift wrapping. It really does come together in about ten minutes for instant gratification.
Tip: make a few in different sizes to cluster together in a Halloween arrangement.
Caring for your crochet accessories
- Spot clean only: dab with a damp cloth and let air dry flat.
- Block jewelry pieces: pin earrings and leaves flat while damp so they keep their shape.
- Store earrings separately: small pouches keep hooks from snagging the stitches.
- Check clasps and rings: re-close jump rings now and then — handmade accessories take a beating in bags.
- Keep the eyeball rose away from heat: plastic eyeballs can warp if left in a hot car.
Ten minutes each, six ways to wear the season. Pick your favorite and start hooking — happy crocheting!
