There is nothing I love more than crisp autumn day at the local farmer’s market or a pumpkin patch, where, like in the photograph that inspired this color palette, pumpkins are nestled among pots of vibrant mums. From the traditional orange pumpkins to the more unique white and blue varieties, this image perfectly captures the essence of fall. The mums, with their deep shades of orange and red, add to the warmth and richness of the season. This captivating photograph inspired a beautiful yarn color palette that embodies the cozy and welcoming feel of autumn, making it perfect for your next crochet project.

This color palette draws from the warm oranges, deep reds, soft whites, and earthy blues of this autumnal scene. These colors are perfect for creating sumptuous crochet projects like blankets, bags, and wearables that will carry the spirit of fall into your everyday life. Imagine wrapping yourself in a blanket that feels as warm as the pumpkin spiced latte you sip on fall afternoon while strolling through the pumpkin patch or wearing a handmade bag that perfectly complements your favorite fall outfit.
