    Crochet Striped Pumpkin for Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving

    Creating Pumpkins is not only easy but fun. The creativity and inspiration for how a pumpkin looks, can be endless. This Striped Pumpkin is a free crochet pattern that was inspired by my recently published Spiral Pumpkin. In order to crochet the Striped Pumpkin you simply need one specific skein of yarn and a few extra items.

    Striped Pumpkin crocheted

    The Striped Pumpkin’s striped yarn color combination is made with the variegated yarn from Michael’s stores called Loops & Threads Facet Stones. I used the color Red Coral which gave the Striped Pumpkin a rustic, but unique look.

    Furthermore, instead of adding a crocheted or real stem to the top of the pumpkin, I used pipe cleaners in 3 different colors, 2 in green and 1 in brown.

    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 as that allows my pattern being shown to more people who might want to see it and also want to make it.

    In addition, I created a downloadable PDF for you all, that has all the pictures separated from the pattern. So you can choose whether you want to print them or not. That can save you a lot of ink in the long run.
