This is a different type of pumpkin which is quick to make and has a cute two colour effect due to the use of the brioche style crochet technique ( also known as overlay crochet)

It is a bit harder in some ways than the average pumpkin as you are working alternate rounds with two colours, however there is no side seam, nor do you need to gather the bottom like typical pumpkin patterns, plus the brioche texture looks very effective and is a bit different!

Level- Intermediate or adventurous beginner

Mostly written /photo tutorial pattern with a short video showing rounds 3 - 5

Yarn- use scraps of any stash yarn really as different types of yarn will result in a group of different sized pumpkins great for display!
