Led by: Becky Sher, Locally Crafted Workshop (@createatlocallycrafted)
If cozy fall decor is your vibe, let us help you create a whole bushel of squishy pumpkins to celebrate the season. Learn this incredibly simple crochet pattern and assembly technique, and you’ll be able to create custom decorations that will last for years.
In this workshop, you will:
Use basic crochet stitches to create a simple foundational piece. You’ll also learn a few new tricks, like crocheting into the back loop.
Learn how to make some quick stitches to form a pumpkin shape.
Stuff your pumpkin to optimum squishiness.
The best part — choose from our buffet of supplies to embellish your pumpkin with a stem and leaves in your personal style.
We will provide yarn, stuffing, heavy-duty needles and embellishments, along with a hook to borrow. If you’d like to bring your own hook or continue making pumpkins at home, an L or M hook will work best with the yarn we’re providing. You can use the same technique with larger or smaller yarn and hooks to create pumpkins in different sizes. These pumpkins definitely look best with friends!
A tiny bit of crochet experience will make this workshop a cinch, but confident crafters who want to learn are welcome too.
