Loving these adorable pumpkins. I've made a couple using half double crochet and back loop only which gives a nice textured look. The one you made using moss stitch is very pretty. Will do that one next. Great tutorial.....thanks x 🏴
Great video I would love it if you could do a video tutorial on how you did the Rice Stitch and the Star Stitch, if you have time. Beautiful pumpkins 🎃 ❤
Thank you! I am working on.a video for the Star stitch Pumpkin. If you use Instagram, I have a short Rice Stitch demo and written instructions in a reel that you can find in my guides (newspaper icon above my grid). If not, there are many tutorials for it her on YT. Once you have a rectangle, the rest of the pumpkin process is the same! So fun!
@@alpenglowbasin excellent, I have subscribed so will keep my eye out for you posting it and in the meantime I’ll head over to Instagram to find. I appreciate the videos I know they are a lot of work 😊
I just love your pumpkins!!! I am on the newer side to crocheting....could you tell me what is the stitch that you did for your doorstop pumpkin??? I just have to make one like that!!!! Thanks!!!!
That stitch is called Rice stitch or Seedling stitch - it is worked by creating a row of double crochets then working rows of alternating front post and back post double crochets! There is a short reel in my guides on Instagram where I demo and write out the instructions for the stitch! Otherwise, there are plenty of tutorials all over UA-cam for it! I am loving my doorstop! ❤️
I have a short demo for Rice stitch (aka: seedling stitch) in my Instagram guides. I know there are several here on UA-cam also! Moss stitch (linen stitch) is the smaller white one. Star stitch (aka: 5-spike marguerite stitch) is the larger rust colored pumpkin. I hope to make some additional tutorials for some of these soon, but you can find some here on YT if you don’t want to wait for me ☺️❤️
Oh wow! That is such a great question! I didn’t even write it down, but it looks like there were 24 rows of front loop Sc and 14 or 15 chains to start. You would start row 1 in the 2nd chain from the hook with one row of regular Sc and then work Sc in the front loops only for each row after that. My yarn was 4 wt (worsted) and my hook size was 5 mm! Hope that helps! Happy crocheting! ❤️
Thank you so much Joan! I used a 5 mm Furls Streamline hook and 4 weight yarn! It was Yarn Bee Easygoing Yarn from Hobby Lobby in the color Frosting! It is a GORGEOUS cream color without all the yellow cast that many cream colored yarns have in them! I will definitely be getting more!
I use a 5.00 mm hook for the majority of projects where I am using a medium/4 wt. (aka : worsted) yarn, but if using a different weight, it is usually good to try out a hook close to the size recommended on the yarn label. 💕
Good question! There isn’t really a formula for the height of your pumpkin, but I would add 1-2” to each end (even more if you’re making a one that’s more than 5-6” in diameter) to the approximate desired height for the amount needed to cinch the top and bottom of the pumpkin. For the diameter you want, simply multiply the desired diameter by 3.14 (I.e. pi) to get the length of the rectangle you’ll need. For my little Moss/Woven st pumpkin, I made 40 chains and 18 rows with 4 wt yarn and a 5mm hook and got a pumpkin that’s 3.5” diameter by 3” high. For a taller velvet pumpkin in Rice Stitch, my rectangle was about 15.5”x10.5”. That made a 5” diameter and it’s about 6” tall.
Hi Tammy! I had to really think through the height and length question as I graded my pattern for the Star St Pumpkin pattern and video I released yesterday. My thinking about the circumference formula was flawed in that it doesn’t account for how much crochet rows stretch! For my Spring Creek Star Stitch Pumpkin, I needed a length that is about 2 times the diameter. For the extra length needed for the height of the pumpkin, I found that I need to add about 70% of the diameter of the pumpkin to have enough to fold over the top and bottom. That might differ a bit with each stitch, but it’s probably a good starting point! Hope that helps!
Thanks. I like how you explain any stick can be used. The yarn is very pretty. Dollar Tree has that twine
Thank you! Makes swatching a little more tolerable! 😂. Dollar tree is definitely a great resource for the embellishments!
Love the star stitch orange pumpkin
Oh, thank you! Working on the pattern and a tutorial for that one! ❤️

Very pretty pumpkins! Thanks for sharing!🎃
You’re so welcome! So glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
These are great.can't wait to make them.
So happy to hear that! Careful, they’re addictive! 😂
Thank you! I’m going to try this one next! (Just did your flip flops) These pumpkins are so cute for autumn. Going to search out some stems! 😀
They are so satisfying! You’ll love them ❤️
Love it! Can I ask how many chains and rows you did? I loved your size and I think it's perfect for me
Oh wow! That is such a great question! I didn’t even write it down, but it looks like there were 24 rows of front loop Sc and 14 or 15 chains to start. You would start row 1 in the 2nd chain from the hook with one row of regular Sc and then work Sc in the front loops only for each row after that. My yarn was 4 wt (worsted) and my hook size was 5 mm! Hope that helps! Happy crocheting! ❤️
Love love love!!! ❤
Thank you my sweet girl! ❤️❤️❤️

These pumpkins are adorable. On the Rice Stitch pumpkin what weight yarn and hook size did you use? I love the texture of the Rice stitch.

@@alpenglowbasin Thank you!
You’re welcome! Have fun! ❤️
Does hook size matter?
I use a 5.00 mm hook for the majority of projects where I am using a medium/4 wt. (aka : worsted) yarn, but if using a different weight, it is usually good to try out a hook close to the size recommended on the yarn label. 💕
Is there a formula for width vs length that works best. Like 2-3 x width for length?
Good question! There isn’t really a formula for the height of your pumpkin, but I would add 1-2” to each end (even more if you’re making a one that’s more than 5-6” in diameter) to the approximate desired height for the amount needed to cinch the top and bottom of the pumpkin.
