This pattern can be adapted to use any yarn. It has been written using an Aran weight yarn and a 5mm hook. But you can use other yarn. For this, I recommend using a hook size relevant for the yarn:

• Double Knit 3.5mm - 4.5mm
• Aran 4.5 - 5.5mm
• Bulky 5.5mm - 6.5mm

But you will know what best suits you! What you are want for this pattern is not to see the stuffing. If you do, you need to go down a hook size.

Remember for finer yarn e.g. DK you may need extras chains to start with and if using a bulky weight yarn you may need less chains. Have fun testing this out until you get your perfect pumpkin.

If you want a taller pumpkin this crochet less rows and join as described. And play with colour, I have a pink pumpkin!
