Autumn is probably my favorite season. And heaven knows I love everything pumpkin--pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin spice lattes (for that last one, my husband teases me all the time), and especially pumpkin home décor!
So, like I do with most things I like, I decided to design my own pattern for some crocheted pumpkins, and I was originally planning to only make them in three sizes, but then my friend and I were strolling through the aisles in Hobby Lobby, and I found this wonderful chunky yarn and knew I had to make a fourth, giant pumpkin!
I'll list the materials and the yarn I used down below, along with a sign-up link for my newsletter. Don't worry--I won't bombard you with frequent emails. You'll receive emails periodically with information about the new website I'm working on setting up, pattern releases so you can be the first in line to purchase new patterns (from an online store that is coming soon), early bird discounts for those patterns, and other Yarns & Tales crochet pattern information! Once you sign up, the pattern will appear in your inbox for you to download for free. And if you would be so kind, if you make one of these Pumpkin Poufs, tag me on social media! It really helps me out a lot. :)
