Quick and Easy Crochet Project
This pumpkin is so quick to work up using blanket yarn, you can surely whip up a few in just one weekend.
The super bulky yarn gives this guy some extra cuddly elements to him and you only need about half a skein of it.
Start this crochet pumpkin with increasing rounds, add some height by adding more rounds, add a face, and finish off with decreasing rounds. It’s so simple!

Hey Maria! I hope y’all are all doing well. I just finished the pumpkin except for the stem. I will get it posted tomorrow. Then on to Frankie! I actually had all this been at blanket yarn here at my house! I guess I’ve been saving up for the right occasion and you gave me that occasion! Thanks for what you do. I love Halloween and these patterns have been just what I didn’t know I needed! Thanks again, Jill
