Striped Cotton Pumpkins Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Striped Cotton Pumpkins
 Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

These Pumpkins are the cutest pumpkins.

They are designed using Twisted Cotton Blend Yarn 

by Lionbrand Yarn.

It's a Main color and a ecru twisted together in 

a thick and thin style yarn. I stitched them up using

 a J / 6.00 MM crochet hook. The yarn can be a little

 tricky at first, but once you get going, it quite easy.

I Picked some up when Hobby Lobby was having a

 clearance sale, and immediately thought "striped pumpkins". And this yarn was exactly what I was wanting it to be.

 It has a rustic yet classy quality.

If you do not have this yarn, 2 strands of Light (3) 

held together will work just fine.

I really, really love how my pumpkin design stitched up.

You can mix and match the colors, and stripe it 

how ever you like. or Just make it a solid pumpkins.

Have fun with the Pattern and use your creative flair.
