This rustic pumpkin set would make a unique centerpiece or a fun addition to your fall decor.

The pattern was originally inspired by an English tea cozy, but it is constructed much differently. It makes use of welts to form the many ridges!

The instructions include detailed finishing directions with photos. Information is also included for customizing the color and size.

You will also need approximately six yards of scrap worsted weight yarn in a contrasting color for the stems.
