Well, it’s officially Fall!

And since I’m still in the process of adding bits and pieces of decor to my new house whenever I can, it was the opportune time to crochet some luscious pumpkins! So I’m dropping into your feed today to show you what’s been on my hook this week.

There are a lot of crochet pumpkin patterns out there, friends. It’s overwhelming. After looking around at quite a few, I narrowed them down to two: the Lil Dollop Pumpkins pattern by Maria over on her blog Maria’s Blue Crayon, and the Caron Harvest Pumpkins pattern from Yarnspirations.

It was a tough choice but I decided to go with the Lil Dollop Pumpkins by Maria because: (1) her blog is wonderful and has tonnes of amazing *free* crochet content (umm, hello Ocean Granny Square Afghan!) and (2) I just love the look of the seed stitch and I think it adds such beautiful texture to just about anything.

I also picked up some non-traditional colours for these pumpkins to better suit my current decor (and because non-traditional pumpkins are fun!)

Since the patterns call for worsted weight yarn and a 4.0mm hook, I did switch up the row counts and hook size for each of the small, medium and large pumpkins to suit my yarn. The yarn I used is Lion Brand’s Wool-Ease Thick and Quick, which is a Super Bulky (6) size yarn, which means I had to size up to a 6.5mm hook.

For the small pumpkin, the pattern calls for 16 rows. I shortened this to 13 with my super bulky yarn, but I kept the original starting chain count the same for all three. For the medium, I worked 17 rows instead of 20, and for the large I worked 22 rows instead of 25. Of course, given the super bulky yarn, my pumpkins still turned out a lot bigger than the originals.

They are such a perfect addition to the little console table I have in my foyer. The combination of the thick yarn with the luxurious texture (plus the fun colours!) makes these pumpkins an absolute dream.

Materials I Used:

6.5mm hook (I use THESE hooks!);
Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in Succulent;
Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in Seaglass;
Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in Clay;
Stuffing;
Tapestry needle.
