The examples of this pattern used DMC cotton embroidery floss with a 2mm hook for the small gourd and medium weight cotton yarn with a 3.5mm hook for the large gourd. You can use any yarn you want, but I recommend a stiffer fiber like cotton to hold the shape.

This pattern was only self-tested, so if there are any questions or errors in the pattern, feel free to send me a message!

Have fun, and happy fall!
