Neck warmers and cowls are ideal crochet projects for fall; they'll keep you warm as the weather gets progressively chillier.

Pictured here: an easy crochet neck warmer that's appropriate for total beginners to crochet. It's a quick project with lots of style.

I made my neck warmer with the idea of wearing it on dressy occasions, particularly on Thanksgiving and the rest of the holiday season. It's much warmer than, say, a necklace would be; it's prettier than your typical long scarf.

My husband and I sometimes attend outdoor parties in the fall and winter, and when we do I am tired of freezing. At the same time, I don't want to look frumpy when I bundle up to keep warm. I think this design would be a nice choice for any sort of holiday gathering, and even to be worn out on New Year's Eve. I'm getting a lot of use out of mine, and if you make one I hope you will too!

As fall melts into winter, scarves become essential go-to fashion accessories. We crocheters have many outstanding choices for scarf designs that'll look great this season.

Apple harvesting takes place in late summer and early fall. Get in the fall spirit by crocheting some lovely apple designs. For example, this beaded apple applique -- it has many possible uses, and it's a fun project too.

Pumpkins are vibrant, eye-catching symbols of the plentiful harvest season. I'm enchanted by their beauty more so than their taste; I don't know about you, but I'd rather crochet a pumpkin than eat one -- unless perhaps we're talking about pumpkin pie.
