I am really enjoying the colder weather after all the heatwaves we’ve had this summer and looking forward to all of the cosy autumn and winter crochet! With that in mind, I decided to make a pumpkin for our house and I love it!
To make your own crochet pumpkin, you will need double knit yarn, a 6mm crochet hook, a pair of scissors, some stuffing, a cinnamon stick and a yarn needle. The pumpkin is approximately 4” wide and 3″ tall. The pattern is written using American terminology and is suitable for beginners.
