Feel warm and snuggly with these amazing cosy winter patterns

When the weather starts to change we all look for more cosy items that we can add to our wardrobe and décor.  Hopefully by surrounding ourselves in layers and warming soft furnishings we will be able to ward off the chilly weather.  I have collected together a mixture of some of the cosiest winter patterns for you to make for winter.

Cosy blanket

There is something so comforting about curling up under a warming blanket.  This pattern would be perfect to huddle under with a warm cup of tea and a good book.  This blanket could be made in any colour combination to match your décor.  The cosy pattern can be found over at Mama in a Stitch https://www.mamainastitch.com/chunky-sampler-blanket-crochet-pattern-wintertide-throw/

Cowl neck hoodie sweatshirt

If there is no where that you need to be it can be very comforting to wear comfortable warming clothing whilst spending the day at home.  This pattern is for a sweatshirt that combines a comfortable hoodie with a warming neck warmer. The sewing pattern for this perfect lounging top is available from Sew Your TV https://www.sewyourtv.com/womens-cowl-neck-sweatshirt-free-pattern/

Hooded poncho

When you return to the warmth inside your home you can sometimes take a little while to warm back up again.  This hooded poncho can just be thrown over the top of what you are wearing and will soon have you feeling warming.  This could be made in a range of designs, either plain or striped to suit your preferences.  This crochet pattern is available from Mama in a Stitch https://www.mamainastitch.com/driftwood-oversized-crochet-hooded-poncho-pattern/

Mittens

If you have to venture outside in the cold these basic but practical mittens will keep your hands nice and warm.  These look nice and chunky so are bound to be nice and warming inside.  These could be made all in one colour or could have an alternative colour on the cuff.  If you really wanted to up the cosiness of this pattern you could even line the mittens in a fleece.  This chunky crochet pattern is available over on Hooked on patterns https://hookedonpatterns.com/crochet-blog/free-crochet-mittens-pattern

Fleece neck warmer

Fleece can be so comforting in the cold weather.  Making a neck warmer can be a better solution that wearing a scarf.  It won’t unravel or strangle like a scarf but can also be worn without the bulkiness of a scarf beneath a jacket.  Perfect for walking the dog on those winter evenings the pattern is available from Apple Green Cottage https://www.applegreencottage.com/neck-warmer-free-pattern-cowl-scarf/

Hooded Coat

A coat can be staple in your wardrobe during the colder seasons so make sure you make a statement.  This coat pattern has a simple elegant design with a hood for those wintry showers.  This can be made in a range of fabrics depending on what your preference is.  This sewing pattern is available from Sew Your TV https://www.sewyourtv.com/hooded-coat-pattern-free/

Ear warmer headband

Many of us don’t like the feeling of wearing a hat.  However our ears are often open to the elements in the cold weather.  The perfect compromise is to wear a headband ear warmer, this keeps your ears warm without covering the whole of your hear.  Easy to wear with up dos and less likely to make you overhead they make a perfect solution.  There are a number of designs available and can also be made for children.  This basic crochet pattern is available from Homemade Heather https://homemadeheather.com/free-crochet-floor-pouf-pattern/

Cowl

Plaid always adds a level or elegance to an outfit this cowl pattern will be both stylish and warming.  This pattern adds some interested to an otherwise fairly plain design.  This cowl design has a very flattering shape which would suit a number of people.  If plaid is not to your taste it could also be made in plain colours or even striped.  The pattern can be found on Hooked On Handmade Happiness https://www.hookedonhomemadehappiness.com/buffalo-check-cowl-crochet-pattern/

Fur Hood

Children seem more willing to wrap up when items have an element of fun.  These fun fur hoods can be made to keep children warm as well as enabling the child to have a go at dressing up as a wild animal.  A variety of animals could be recreated by altering the details on the hood or even the fur colours.  The pattern is available from Lemon Squeezy Home https://lemonsqueezyhome.com/2014/11/faux-fur-hood-tutorial-free-pattern-in.html

Baby sleep sack

Don’t forget the smallest members of your family at this time of year.  They will sleep beautifully when cuddled up with this sleep sack.  The bottom gives baby the room to move around.  Together with the sleeves and the hood to keep them warm.  This would make a perfect practical gift for a baby due in the winter months, just change the colour to your preferred baby colours.
