I used a size "G" crochet hook and scrap yarn in orange, brown, and green. Just like the Ripple Stitch Beach Blanket, this project has an extra special touch-- it was made with yarn that I inherited from my Great-Grandma Bolt. For the stuffing, I used Silky Soft's ultra soft poly-fil found at JoAnn Fabrics (on sale last week!).
This adorable pumpkin measures 14-1/2 inches around and 5 inches tall. It took only a few hours to complete following Lion Brand Yarn's Amigurumi Happy Pumpkin pattern. You'll notice that I skipped the step of adding a smiley face. I thought it looked too Halloween-y, and I want to use the pumpkin as a decoration into Thanksgiving time.
Hope you're feeling motivated to start your next project!
Happy hooking,
Jilliane
