How Do I Create the Braided Texture?
Though the bold braided pattern may look intimidating, it’s actually very simple to handle, especially if you already know basic techniques. The pumpkins are worked in rounds, first with half double crochets and then V-puff stitches, which produce the distinct raised braids. You will switch between two yarn colors, so no complicated colorwork is involved.
What Yarn Works Best For This Crochet Pumpkin Pattern?
When picking yarn for this project, make sure it’s available in deep fall-inspired colors. If you want your crochet pumpkins to be exactly the same size as the ones showcased in the images, choose medium-weight yarn and pair it with a 5.5 mm crochet hook.
The recommended choices are Red Heart Super Saver, Caron Simply Soft, and Mary Maxim Starlette Worsted Weight, but feel also free to use any other yarn you like.
What Can You Use For The Stem?
No crocheted pumpkin can go without the finishing touches! This is the part where you show your creative side and personalize your project. A small twig will work perfectly as a stem. Another option are cinnamon sticks, which will bring a beautiful scent into your room. For the tendrils, you can use a short piece of twine or ribbon depending on what effect you want to achieve.
