Hey there Pumpkin! Today I am sharing my quick beginner friendly crochet pattern to make these rustic yarn pumpkins. Each year I make an arm load (or two) of these pumpkins to sell at craft markets and in my shop. They are the perfect touch to add to your fall centerpieces or to decorate your mantle or table with an autumn touch.
With three kiddos in the house (and two fur pups) my go to fall decorations are ones that are non-breakable, easy to move around, and no-fuss. Rustic yarn pumpkins fit these requirements perfectly. And hey, if the littles get a bit rambunctious they can have a pumpkin fight :)
