To complete the pumpkin collection are these faux knit pumpkin.
When it came to this pumpkin I knew I wanted to do something different from the traditional indentions. I considered several different techniques and stitches, but finally settled on creating ribbing.
As a crochet designer I feel like I am constantly trying to figure out how to make crochet look like knit. This one was kind of fun because I didn't realize that it looked knit until I was putting the finishing touches on it. I really love how modern the pumpkin looks with combination of the white yarn and ribbed texture.

Assembly:
Fold the rectangle in half and seam up the side to form a tube. Cinch one side closed. Fill with stuffing and cinch the other side close. Dab a little glue in the middle and insert the stick. Cut out some leaves out of leather and glue them next to the stick. To finish it off, tie some twine or string around the “stem”.
