This pattern is intended for Beginners. you should know how to work a Magic Ring, basic stitches, and how to sew pieces together. This pattern is written using American terms. This pattern is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise specified. Finished size depends on personal tension, yarn and hook size. For this project I used 3 strands of 4 weight yarn, a 6mm hook, and my finished Fall Pumpkin is approx 3.5in tall. You can use any yarn weight and hook you would like; it will just make the project bigger or smaller.
