———This is the crochet pattern only, and not the finished item———

Sizes: Instructions guide you in creating three different size pumpkins: Small (3” x 3-1/2”), Medium (4” x 4”), and Large (4-3/4” x 5”). Your personal gauge, yarn choice, and other factors may impact the finished dimensions.

Skill Level:
Easy / Beginner. You need to be able to crochet these stitches: slip stitch, chain, single crochet, single crochet two together, half double crochet, dc.

Materials Needed to Complete This Pattern:
—Crochet hook in size US H8/5.00mm.
—All instructions are suitable for any medium weight worsted yarn. I prefer acrylic for its bold colors and easy care, but cotton would work equally well. Colors for pumpkins: any natural tones such as orange, red, pale green/blue, or gold work really well. Colors for stems: buff or brown. Colors for the vines: soft sage green. Colors for the leaves: dark jade green.
—20-LED string of battery-operated “fairy lights” in warm white for each pumpkin (two for large pumpkin)
—CR2032 or appropriate type of replacement batteries (highly recommended)
—Clear 6 mil mylar craft plastic. (Optional, but highly recommended.)
—Yarn needle to weave in ends
—Poly-fil for stuffing
—Scissors to cut yarn

Have fun! If you need assistance with the pattern, you may contact me via Etsy or email.
