Pumpkin season is here! So of course I had to make a Pumpkin Crochet Pattern! I’m currently working on a fall garland and made a few of these little cuties today.
And I couldn’t wait until I was finished with the garland to share this pattern with you! I hit the pause button on the garland and wrote this pattern up real quick.

Leave a really long tail for sewing
Using your yarn needle sew the top closed. Take the yarn around the outside of the pumpkin and insert the needle in the center of the bottom, pull yarn back through the top (this should create the indentation on the outside)
Continue this until you have 8 even indentations.
Fasten off, weave in the ends.
Add a small piece of jute to the top as a stem or anything else you’d like to use as a stem.
