Is The Colorful Pumpkin Easy To Crochet?
The Colorful Pumpkin Crochet Pattern by Weronika Miechowicz was designed with beginners in mind. Thus, it includes easy-to-follow instructions and a simple construction. The main pumpkin panel is crocheted in turning rows using bobble stitches and half double crochets worked in front loops only. You will also practice changing yarn colors after every few rows.
Which Yarn Works Best For This Pattern?
You can use whatever yarn you have in your stash. The sample seen in the photos was made with fine weight yarn and a 4 mm crochet hook. You will need seven different colors to produce a beautiful multicolored look. You can go for the original color scheme featuring white, dark blue, light blue, orange, yellow, green, and brown, or come up with your customized color combination.
How Big Is The Finished Colorful Pumpkin?
The final size of your crochet pumpkin depends on the materials. The thicker the yarn and the larger the hook you choose, the bigger your project will get. The photographed pumpkin is 5.9″ (15 cm) tall and 6.7″ (17 cm) wide, so you can easily display it in many spots around the house like shelves, tables, or windowsills. Have you already picked the perfect spot for yours?
