    I love this pumpkin. All that I have found have been worked in the round. This one is oblong.
    It looks so much more like a pumpkin. Thanks you for sharing it.

    You come up with the best & cutest ideas I just love the pumpkin. I wish you could see our local city pumpkin patch it’s so beautiful with all the pumpkins in the fields. One year I stop & pulled over to take a picture of it & I was so happy that it came out so nice. That’s what your little pumpkin reminds me of, thanks for sharing you ideas with us.

    I like how the ridges in the crochet pumpkin run the same direction as ridges in a real pumpkin. Cute!
