We are well into the ‘ber’ months now and heading towards peak cosy-craft season. So, we’ve selected not one, not two, but six cosy crafts to inspire you – all from creative women with small businesses here in the UK. Grab yourself a cup of your favourite warm drink and a comforting treat, and set yourself up for a snuggly session of creativity…
Creative projects might be our number one cosy activity, but reading books whilst drinking warming drinks, surrounded by flowers, is a close second!
Celebrate both cosy ideas with this “Tea, Coffee, Books and Flowers” embroidery pattern by Sophie from Mindful Mantra Embroidery (Instagram: @mindfulmantra_embroidery).
You’ll receive a PDF pattern, comprehensive stitch guide, and suggested colour palette (including DMC thread numbers) – so you can easily recreate Sophie’s gorgeous design yourself.
Embrace the colours of autumn and prepare for colder weather with this scarf kit and pattern by Andrea (and one of her team members – Donna) from Always Knitting and Sewing (Instagram: @alwaysknittingandsewing).
The kit contains all the yarn you need to create your scarf, as well as a beginner-friendly PDF pattern. You’ll just need a 4mm crochet hook, and a yarn needle, to get started.
Create a whimsical piece of autumnal magic for your home with this red toadstool cross stitch kit by Chloe from Cotton Clara (Instagram: @cotton_clara).
The kit includes everything you need (except a pair of scissors): an 11cm embroidery hoop, coloured aida, embroidery needle, embroidery thread, ribbon to hang, wadding, a backing disc, and instructions – so, you’ll be stitching those cute little toadstools in no time!
If you’re a seasoned creative, you’ll have probably come across most crafts along the way, but… have you ever heard of ‘stick weaving’? We certainly hadn’t until we saw this wonderful kit from Rachel at Cosy Craft Club (Instagram: @cosycraftclub).
Designed by Stephanie from Le Petit Moose, exclusively for Cosy Craft Club, the kit includes everything you need (except scissors) to create three woven bookmarks. You can use the step-by-step instructions and helpful patterns included – ranging from beginner to more advanced – or create your own.
They say a picture paints a thousand words… so we wonder how many tales might be spun from a picture made of wool!
With this “Sleepy Fox” needle felting kit by Jo from The Crafty Kit Company (Instagram: @craftykitcompany), you can create your own magical, story-like piece of textile art.
The kit contains all the materials you need (including premium wool) and detailed instructions suitable for all skill levels.
We’ve saved perhaps the cosiest cosy-craft till the end – a project you can actually snuggle into as you create! Knitting a blanket is pretty cosy in the first place but this kit takes things to the next level.
Using soft jumbo yarn and your arms as needles, you can create a gorgeous, extremely chunky blanket with this arm-knitting kit by Paula from Cocoon&me (Instagram: @cocoonandme).
Choose from 20 colours of yarn to make a small or medium balnket, with the help of an online video tutorial.
There you have it, six wonderful, cosy crafts to enjoy as the temperature drops and the nights draw in. We hope at least one sparks your interest and helps you to keep being creative in these last few months of the year.
