Faux Knit Pumpkins

Use a G/6 (4.00mm) crochet hook

See first tab (Back Bar) on how to crochet in the back bar.

Using Color Orange

Make a slipknot and leave about a 12 inch tail - chain 28 {28 sts}

R1: hdc in 3rd chain from the hook, hdc in next 25 sts {26 sts}

R2: Turn, chain 2, hdc into the back bar only in next 26 sts {26 sts}

R3: Turn, chain 2, hdc in the back loop only in next 26 sts {26 sts}

R4-27: Alternate R2 and R3

R27 should be ending with a repeat of R3.

Do not fasten off. See Close Pumpkin Tab when finished with R27.

Helpful Tip:

When the textured side is facing you, crochet into the back loops.

When the plain side is facing you, crochet into the back bar.
