I can't stop making these rustic fall pumpkins for everyone!

Anyone else feel like they might have a bit of a pumpkin problem?! No matter how many I make, I still want more. There are just so many fun yarn colors and they make the perfect fall decor! And because they are so quick and everyone loves them, they are really easy to give away which is good because otherwise we'd be buried up to our eyeballs in them in my house.

Last year I created a Rustic Pumpkin pattern that I made on repeat all fall. And even though I knew I didn't need any new pumpkins this year, this yarn from Hobby Lobby called out to me and now I've made another pile. Who can you think of that needs a pumpkin or two?

• Free Rustic pumpkin pattern

• size H crochet hook - these are my favorite hooks, hands down

• Worsted weight yarn - I used Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn Print in Fireworks Show, I Love This Yarn in Sungold, Loops & Threads Luxe Merino in Sedona (I held two strands together when I used this) and Loops & Threads Impeccable in Blue Moon

• Poly-fil

• hot glue gun and glue sticks

• optional – glue gun stand – this shouldn’t be optional because if you don’t have one, you NEED one

• tapestry/darning/yarn needle

• scissors

optional to decorate the pumpkin:

• green grapevine wire

• a pair of wire cutters to clip your grapevine wire

• a stick – you read that correctly – a random stick. I used a lopper – to cut a branch from a bush in my backyard and then chop it down to the right size. OR

• a cinnamon stick to use as a stem.

Size and yardage:

• The small pumpkin is about 3 1/ 2 inches tall before adding a stem and I used about 63 yards of Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn Print in Fireworks Show.

• The medium pumpkin is about 4 inches tall before adding a stem (I did squish mine down quite a bit as I was making the sections so yours could be a bit taller). I used about 114 yards of Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn Print in Fireworks Show.

• The large is about 6 inches tall before adding the stem and I used 189 yards of Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn Print in Fireworks Show.

Stitches used:

ch = chain

sl st = slip stitch

sc = single crochet

hdc = half double crochet

blo – crochet in the back loops only

hdc in front third loop – watch the video up above to learn this stitch

Notes:

-Rows one and two together create a camel stitch.

*I first saw this technique at www.hookedbyrobin.com where you can find tutorials for a ton of really cool crochet stitches.

Just for an FYI, made the sections of my variegated pumpkins with a coordinating color yarn. I used I Love This Yarn in Sungold for the large pumpkin in a stack of three, Loops & Threads Luxe Merino in Sedona for the medium pumpkin in the stack of two, and Loops & Threads Impeccable in Blue Moon for the small pumpkin in the stack of two.

And, I have some pretty fall gift tags you can download for free to attach to any pumpkins you can bear to part with.
