The mornings are getting cooler and I'm finding myself reaching for a cup of hot chai tea more often! Don't get me wrong, I love Summer, but there's always some excitement as the seasons start to change.
Our garden is slowing down and we've been winterizing before the rain comes. Our area could use a good rainy Fall (and Winter!) as we didn't have our normal wet Spring. And with rain always comes an open invitation for more crochet!
I designed the Berry Fall Crochet Pumpkin to bring a little texture to my Fall decor. The simple row repeat also means it's a great project to work on while enjoying a nice show in the evenings!
The pattern comes in a small and large size. The small just might be my favorite with those extra rows of Berry Stitches!

- Lastly, fold and sew your stem onto the top of your pumpkin.
Your crochet pumpkin is complete! I hope you have enjoyed making this pattern. Let me know if you have any questions with this pattern or any of my other patterns, I would be happy to help.
