The Fall Pumpkin is an easy beginner-friendly Tunisian crochet pumpkin pattern that is perfect for fall/autumn inspired home décor.

The pattern is a great introduction to Tunisian crochet; as it is made flat using only Tunisian purl and knit stitches and seamed and shaped at the end. It would make a great addition to your seasonal display on its own or stacked for added wow factor.

This project is made using two strands of yarn at once with resulting yarn weight being between worsted and bulky.
