The step-by-step photos will help you along the way.
How Do You Turn A Pumpkin Into A Bookmark?
To make a cute crochet pumpkin bookmark, you don’t need much. Just a small amount of worsted weight yarn in orange and green (you can use leftovers from your stash), a pinch of polyfill stuffing, and a 5 mm crochet hook. You will work just one mini pumpkin and finish it with a long leaf tail that’s sewn onto the top. This is so simple, right?
How Do You Make A Pumpkin Garland?
The garland is built from several crochet mini pumpkins and leaf motifs worked separately. Once you have them ready, you simply need to attach them to a long chain-stitched string. You can make as many pumpkin pieces as you like to achieve a garland in a desired length.
Can You Use The Mini Pumpkins As Decorations On Their Own?
Sure, you can! These miniature crochet pumpkins will also work as stand-alone decorations. You can easily turn them into hanging ornaments or keychains. A bunch of these little babies tucked into a bowl or basket will look lovely too.
