Peter’s Pumpkin pattern is exquisitely textured by using Half Double Crochet Back Loop Only stitches creating pumpkin ridges on each row. For the body of the pumpkin, the yarn used was Bernat Softee Chunky which has lots of stretch for stuffing. The stem, corkscrews and blossom end are crocheted with Craftsmart yarn.

The stitch method used for this pumpkin pattern will naturally form a round ball shape, making it easy to assemble and stuff the pumpkin.

The size and beauty of this pumpkin will surely stand out and make its claim as a fun and elegant décor in your home during the Fall and Halloween Season.
