MATERIALS

I used Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn for the original sample, but I have also made samples with other acrylic aran weights that made for lovely pumpkin hats. As long as you meet gauge and are happy with the fabric, please feel free to make substitutions as you wish.

about 110yds (180yds) Orange
about 30yds (35yds) Brown
about 15yds (15yds) Green

all yardage is given a “cushion” and has been increased by about 10% to ensure everyone has enough yarn
regardless of tension
(e.g. I only used about 100yds of Orange, but the yardage I list is 110yds)

5mm/H hook
scissors
tapestry needle

This is one of my first patterns! I have tested extensively, but if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me and I’ll do my best to help you out! <3
