Do you love decorating with snowmen for Christmas? I don't have a lot of them in my Christmas decor, but there are a few scattered here and there. I myself like more of a rustic-themed Christmas, but I do know there are tons of you who have lots of snowmen incorporated into your Christmas themes, so I thought I would create a fun free snowman crochet pattern designed to sit on a table, or any other flat surface, I chose to make my snowman's hat and accessories red, but use any color that would fit in with your Christmas decor.

Even though it's still August, I can't help but think about all of the delicious pumpkin-flavored Fall goodies that are right around the corner: lattes, muffins, cookies, and pie! My little boy loves pumpkin pie, so he was pretty disappointed when he heard me say I was making a pumpkin pie, only for it to be crocheted. Don't worry. I'm making him a pie tomorrow.

This adorable little crocheted pumpkin pie measures roughly 5" across, making it the perfect size to display on a Fall-themed tiered tray! For the yarn, I used Red Heart Supersaver, but any brand of worsted weight yarn will be fine.

I live for Halloween, so I thoroughly enjoyed creating this adorable free ghost crochet pattern for my followers. I remember watching Casper the Friendly Ghost cartoons when I was small, and thought I would make a set of friendly ghosts that can be given to children as a toy, or set on a table for a cute Halloween decoration.

If these are going to be used as toys, I wouldn't worry too much about putting cardboard in the bottom. I only used that as a way to make sure they could stand up on a flat surface.
