Bar Stitch Crochet Pumpkins

"These cozy Bar Stitch Crochet Pumpkins from Love Life Yarn are the perfect handmade touch for your fall decorating! Created with simple crochet techniques, this pattern uses the bar stitch to form beautiful ridges that mimic the natural lines of a real pumpkin. Each one is worked flat and then seamed, gathered, and stuffed for a plump, realistic shape. Full video tutorial included! You’ll need bulky and medium weight (worsted) yarn in your favorite autumn hues—think warm orange for the body and soft brown for the stem—plus a crochet hook sized to match your yarn. Basic stitches like chain, single crochet, and front post double crochet make this an accessible project for confident beginners. Quick to make and endlessly customizable in size or color, these pumpkins are ideal for decorating mantels, Thanksgiving tables, or gift baskets. They’re a charming way to bring handmade warmth to your home all season long."
