The Autumn Poppy Accessories Crochet Pattern Book (US Terms) is a 40-page, full-colour collection of 6 wearable crochet designs created especially for hand-dyed yarn. This beautifully printed edition brings together modern autumn accessories designed to showcase tonal and variegated yarn in timeless, wearable pieces.

For the Skeins You’ve Been Saving

You know the ones.

The hand-dyed skeins that felt too beautiful to use.
The colours you instantly fell in love with.
The yarn you’ve carefully placed on a shelf “for something special.”

We understand that hesitation.

That’s exactly why this collection was created.

The Autumn Poppy Accessories Crochet Pattern Book is a curated collection of six wearable crochet designs, created to help you confidently turn your most beautiful yarn into something you’ll actually wear.

A Thoughtful Collaboration

This collection brings together the creative styles of Fiona of Cosy Rosie UK and Joanna of High Desert Yarn who united by a shared love of beautiful hand-dyed yarn and wearable design.

Rather than creating one-off pieces, we wanted to design a cohesive autumn wardrobe of crochet accessories that feel timeless, practical and special to make.

Inside the book you’ll find six complementary designs:

• A textured beanie
• Fingerless gloves
• Cosy crochet socks
• A statement cowl
• A draping shawl
• A coordinating headband

Each piece has been designed to stand beautifully on its own - but together they create a harmonious collection that works across the seasons.

The shapes are classic.
The textures are thoughtful.
And the focus is always on letting the yarn shine.

Designed to Showcase Hand-Dyed Yarn

If you’ve ever worried about:

• Colour pooling
• “Wasting” a special skein
• Choosing the wrong project
• Yarn being too pretty to risk

These patterns are intentionally designed to remove that fear.

✔ No complex colourwork
✔ Texture that complements tonal yarn
✔ Stitch patterns that allow colour shifts to shine
✔ Manageable yardage
✔ Timeless, wearable shapes

Your yarn becomes the feature, not an afterthought.

🧶 Yarn Requirements Overview

One of the biggest hesitations when using hand-dyed yarn is:
“Will I have enough?”

So you can plan confidently, all the patterns have been designed using Cloudcroft DK (size 3), 100% Superwash Merino Wool:

🧶 Don’t Have Hand-Dyed Yarn? That’s Absolutely Fine!

While this collection was designed to celebrate beautiful hand-dyed skeins, you do not need hand-dyed yarn to make these patterns. - Every pattern in the Autumn Poppy Collection uses DK weight yarn.

And they will work beautifully with:

✔ Commercially dyed yarn
✔ Solid colours
✔ Tonal shades
✔ Acrylic yarn
✔ Wool
✔ Alpaca blends
✔ Sock blends with nylon
✔ Any natural or synthetic fibre

If you have a favourite yarn in your stash including budget-friendly acrylic yarn- you can use it.

So whether your yarn cost £3 or £30, the finished piece will look beautiful.

The Heart of This Collection

It’s not about owning the “right” yarn. It’s about:

Using what you have.
Enjoying the process.
Making something you’ll actually wear.

Hand-dyed yarn is beautiful - but so is a project finished with something already in your stash.

This collection was designed to give you confidence - not rules.
