What better way to get into the mood than with crocheted pumpkins? I personally LOVE the unique ones. The more bumps and curves, the better! That’s why I created this design for my textured pumpkin. And of course I had to make them with pastel colors.

What’s great is that you can modify the pattern by using different hook sizes or different yarn weights to make other sizes as well. If using the prescribed materials, your pumpkin will measure 7 in. x 4.5 in. 17.71 cm x 11.5 cm.

Here’s what you’ll need for this project:
