What is the First Fall Weekends Make-Along 2024?
The First Fall Make-Along is an annual event hosted by Marly Bird, designed to celebrate the arrival of fall with fun, fast-to-make crochet and knitting projects. This make-along is perfect for anyone who loves to get into the cozy spirit of the season by creating beautiful handmade accessories, like mosaic stitch hats and fingerless mittens.
This year, we changed it to First Fall Weekends Make-along!
Whether you’re heading out to watch a 🏈 peewee football game, staying home with a cup of cocoa ☕️, or simply craving a project to unwind with by the fire, these patterns are designed to fit into your life effortlessly ✅.
Is This First Fall Weekends Make-Along for Knitters or Crocheters?
This make-along is inclusive of both knitters and crocheters, offering patterns for both crafts. Even if you’ve never worked with mosaic stitches before, don’t worry—Marly’s easy-to-follow tutorials, written instructions, and clear charts will guide you through the process. Plus, you’ll have access to the supportive Marly Bird BiCrafty Community to help and cheer you on.
Joining this event is a fun way to connect with other crafters, learn new techniques, and create something perfect for fall—whether to wear, gift, or sell.
And the best part? You can participate at your own pace, with patterns released over two weekends to give you plenty of time to enjoy the process.
This make-along brings a sense of community, creativity, and celebration to the cozy fall season.

Marly made me do it!
I’ve been knitting a pi shawl for the last 4 months and won’t work on anything else until it’s finished, but I love mosaic work and so I’ll want to try the hats and mittens when I can. Marly patterns are so easy to understand and well written that I just have to have them – so I’ll buy the VIP kit.
Thanks Marly! ❤️
I love making all knit & crochet products and I have learnt so many things from you. Love it and thank you
I find all your patterns beautiful. Very impressive . Would definitely want to learn how to make patterns
