Pumpkin Free Crochet Pattern

Hey Friends!

Time for another crochet project! I’m really trying keep this blog from being a “one horse wonder” (and that horse being crochet) but it’s really hard for me when I love it so much! I hope that though you obviously love crochet too (or you wouldn’t be reading this right now) that you will check out some of my other projects and crafts while you’re here. I pretty much love anything done in some flavor of country, but I’ve really been keen on the farmhouse style as of late. So keen on it that I plan to redecorate our come in farmhouse style over the next few months. And of course I’ll post all my progress here, so if you’re into the farmhouse look, stay tuned! 🙂

I came up with this project because though I’ve seen a lot of crochet patterns for round pumpkins that are stuffed, I haven’t seen too many that are flat that could be used for appliques and such.

Below are step by step pictures to help if you get stuck. I am a left-handed crocheter, so if the pictures look jacked up to you, that’s probably why. These directions will work whether you are left or right-handed.
