Pumpkin

I am not sure what possessed me to make this… I think it was the fact that kids couldn’t do trick or treating this year, and this would last longer outside the house than a pumpkin!! It got soaking wet and very heavy hung outside! And we never get many trick or treaters anyway! I can use it again next year! It was just a random bit of fun!!

I made the pattern up. Starting with, I think, 8 treble crochet in a magic ring, and starting off like I would any circle, increasing 8 stitches each round. When it felt to be getting big enough, I straightened out for a couple of rounds, and then did some increases in each 1/8 to get it to bulge a bit. I also did some double trebles so it grew a bit quicker! Straightened off again for a bit, and then decreased back down. I doubled up and used 2 different balls of orange DK.
