    Spiral Pumpkin for fall and halloween
    This post includes affiliate links.

    With the fall season approaching, this Spiral Pumpkin is the ideal decoration for your home to provide it some extra and unique vibe. The Spiral Pumpkin features the Spiral Effect as well as the Caron X Pantone yarn by Yarnspirations which makes the pumpkin not only special and swirly but also soft and easy to crochet.

    The Spiral Pumpkin does not come with a stem crochet pattern, but instead shows off nature by having a piece of tree branch sticking out on the top.

    A few weeks ago, when I started seeing pumpkins all around me again, I wanted to create one that was not the typical pumpkin you could find anywhere, whether it is a real or a crafty version. But instead, provide it with some extra special effect where the spirals around the pumpkin steal the show.

    Using the Caron X Pantone yarn for the spiral effect made the Spiral Pumpkin not only easy to crochet but also very soft to the touch. Furthermore, I also provide you with a video tutorial which you can view below.

    Now, before I show you the materials and the actual free crochet pattern, please also be sure to add this pattern to your Ravelry Favorites by clicking the button below.

    And again, change yarn to the pink color and repeat rows 1 and 2.

    Finally, change yarn to the purple color and repeat rows 1 and 2.

    Now, start over with the brightest color and repeat from the beginning until you have 60 rows (6 color sets).

    Now fold the long side of the parallelogram in half and sew the 2 short sides together.

    After you finished sewing the short sides together creating a tube that has spiral rows, you will sew the openings of the tube together as well. Be sure to add stuffing (polyfill) before closing the second opening all the way.

    Finally, you will add a small little stick as the stem for the Pumpkin as well as sew the strings around the pumpkin to create the indents.
