Chunky Rustic Pumpkins – Crochet Pattern

The chunky rustic pumpkins comes in 3 sizes and is made with chunky tweed yarn, twine, raffia, and wood stick stems to give any home that perfect rustic touch. These rustic pumpkins were inspired entirely out of seeing this beautiful dark teal yarn with tweed flecks in it. I knew as soon as I saw that yarn that I needed to make a beautiful rustic looking pumpkin with it. There was actually several tweed yarns in this chunky weight, so I picked a couple colors deciding that I would actually make a couple pumpkins in several sizes and colors.
