Here’s a pumpkin pattern for those of you who prefer not to get their hands dirty carving a pumpkin at Halloween. This super easy crochet pumpkin can be made in no time and adds an interesting twist on traditional Halloween decor. You can even use it year after year! Why not trying this pumpkin in unconventional colours to match your decor. This post contains the written instructions with the video tutorial underneath. I also have the inexpensive PDF pattern available if you wanted to print yourself a copy to work from.
