[@ninijellybeanie6853]

Thank you for being so clear and concise and not fast forwarding or skipping. I can actually SEE what you are doing and it is so helpful!!! I am a beginner who struggles with patterns but seeing it visually helps so much!! Love this video so much!!

[@jddr555]

What a great instructor you are. Most don't show where to put the hook through and don't SHOW all the instructions like you do. Plus they go too fast caustics the listener to slow down the video repeatedly. Crocheting for over 40 years. Thank you!

[@JustBeCrafty]

So glad it was helpful!❤️

[@chrimsonevans2016]

This is the easiest tutorial for pumpkins I’ve seen!! I couldn’t even follow Bella cocos because it was confusing and I’ve been crocheting for over a decade

[@beestephenson]

i HATE her tutorials i've never understood a single one of them

[@MorbidMalice666]

See, it’s interesting to see how people learn. I’m a beginner (6mo in) and this video pissed me off, she’s bad at showing what she means when introducing her steps.. but Bella coco’s was the video I could actually follow!

[@chrimsonevans2016]

@@MorbidMalice666 I always loved that in school you could really pick up on how everyone’s mind just leaned so differently. It’s cool being able to find people that can show you how to do things. I can’t teach my niece, but my mom can sit down with her and she gets it almost immediately, but I’ve been able to show others how to crochet since I was 12. It’s amazing to watch different minds work and respond to different styles

[@krismarrone9269]

Simple love it thx

[@rebeccadana5945]

I just watched your tutorial and I cannot wait to get my cinnamon sticks and my twine so I can get started on my pumpkins. Thank you so much.

[@JustBeCrafty]

Yay! This makes me so excited, happy crocheting!

[@xtinarich1798]

I’m very green to crocheting and I just finished mine!! I am so in love with it this is the first project I ever did!! Thank you! I love this tutorial so much, so easy and beginner friendly!!!

[@JustBeCrafty]

I'm so glad you found the tutorial helpful!❤️

[@lyndakauffman4860]

I have made so many of these this year!! So easy and everyone loved them!! Thank you for your patterns and videos!

[@theimperfectcrafterny]

Everyone I've made these for loves them. Thank you so much!

[@myarbrough71]

This is by far the best tutorial for a pumpkin that I have seen!! Thank you!! I want to make some for my co-workers!!

[@ggknitsandcrochets7612]

So cute thank you for showing it slowly I’ve watched may instructors go through it once very fast and it was hard to see what they were doing I feel confident I can follow and complete other tutorials from you and I haven’t felt that with other instructors yet so thank you

[@JustBeCrafty]

Glad it was helpful!

[@annf3949]

I’m making these

[@jamieb6137]

This was my first crochet project and it turned out so well. Thank you for the easy to follow instructions! :)

[@laurafreeman4956]

Just made my first pumpkin. You made this so easy. I don't have Poly-Fil so I used some old socks. And after I cinched it closed I used the remaining yarn to make a vine. Liked the look so I did a couple more and tied them. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@JustBeCrafty]

I love it! What a great way to up cycle some old socks!

[@quietautumn5125]

I’ve been almost crying for God knows how long. Been trying to learn how to crochet for MONTHS. I’ve spent over 50 hours and I still just couldn’t get it right. I’ve finally gotten it right, thanks to your video. 🥹 Thank you!!!

[@mamadoom9724]

I’m loving this project. I can’t finish mine until I buy the stuffing but I can tell it’s going to turn out so cute.

[@victoriaveach]

I’ve been making a couple crochet pumpkins as my intro to crocheting and have had a couple questions I haven’t been able to find answers to but after watching your video I’ve made the best pumpkins I’ve made so far! Thank you! 🤩

[@jenniferlasalle891]

This video is great, I've made several pumpkins using this tutorial, thank you!

[@katieelle5865]

Loving the hemlocks pine cones too!

[@JustBeCrafty]

Thank you!! I think I found those at the Dollar Tree!

[@mariagill183]

Thanks for this!!!I have some yarn to use up and appreciate that you mention this in the beginning.Looking forward to making these!

[@joycehurt7875]

Gotta get started for the autumn items . This is a big start very easy to fellow. Thank you so much. They are beautiful ❤️

[@JanetLB]

I love this craft, tutorial and your clear articulation of the instructions. I’m ready to start and can hardly wait to make these for our family and friends. Thank you!!

[@JustBeCrafty]

[@JustBeCrafty]

[@i_on_LA]

Thanks so much for this! I knit normally, and this was my first try at crocheting. Really easy to follow instructions. I have made five pumpkins of different sizes and colors using this video :) I look forward to seeing your other tutorials!

[@kathleenmckenna8578]

I also have crocheted for tons of years and some pattern’s too complicated. However, this is awesome because I can make any size by easily adding rows with same stitches so making very easy, great job!

[@Michelle.05]

Great tutorial Brittany! Thank you so much for sharing. I've been watching a lot of pumpkin tutorials lately and you're the 2nd person that's said something that's very important....it doesn't have to be perfect! That's so true, because you won't ever find a perfect real pumpkin. Again, thank you so much for such a great tutorial.

[@JustBeCrafty]

Yes - its so true! And glad you enjoyed the tutorial!

[@nossapossa6741]

🎉🎉I made one last night and it was super 🥰.thank you for the tutorial

Yay! So glad it helped!

[@elsanunezmartin9074]

Me gusta, me he iniciado este otoño con las calabacitas y tu tutorial es genial. THKS 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@mirmirs]

I love the fact if you only fasten/close off one end you end up with a little hat :)

[@JustBeCrafty]

Yes!! That’s actually pretty much how my crochet chunky hat is made! You’ll have to check it out! Happy crocheting! ❤️

[@lauraakagigi]

I’ve made several already!! Love this so much!!

[@fionastube2011]

Cute, simple, totally doable! Thx!

Thanks! I hope you enjoy! ❤️

[@energyhealer39]

I love that technique! Thanks for sharing. I like the cinnamon stick idea.

[@JustBeCrafty]

Thanks for watching!

[@L_ZILLA]

This also works if you forget to chain two at the start or each row!!! I also stuffed mine with old socks!!!

[@aislinnortiz1367]

Can't wait to try it! Literally the best pumpkin tutorial i seen by far!

[@angelagarverick3386]

I am so happy I found this video. The pumpkin pattern is an easy concept, but I couldn't figure out the dimensions for making it bigger. Thank you for helping me figure this out. ❤😊❤

[@JustBeCrafty]

So glad it was helpful! ❤

[@HanneloreRivelli]

Thank you for going slow and its important too me to see where you are putting the next stich

So cute and easy to follow tutorial. 🌾🌾🍁🍁🍂🍂

[@JustBeCrafty]

Thank you so much!❤️

[@novaconetta1577]

So cute! I haven't made it yet but adding some essential oil to the stuffing or some pumpkin spice potpourri would be cute too.

[@JustBeCrafty]

That’s a wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@jodismith5095]

love this tutorial! the pumpkins are turning out great I'm on my fifth one right now. love this pattern. thank you. see you later

[@kathleenczap347]

Thank you for making this pumpkin so easy to create. I tried another pattern, but it was too difficult and I ripped it out at least 4 times before coming across yours.

[@laurasappington4879]

Thank you for this video! This is the first time I’ve tried to crochet something based off of a tutorial or pattern, and you made it so easy to understand! Looking forward to finishing this project. 😊

[@JustBeCrafty]

I’m so glad you found the tutorial helpful! ❤️

[@ruthcarter3822]

Great directions! Thank you for not making it harder than it has to be. I made a gold colored pumpkin and it looks so cute. Wondering how much to charge for one of these at the market. I did a 23 chain size and I’m curious to see how much bigger and smaller one will turn out.

[@HappinessSparkles]

Thank you so much for sharing ,this is so easy ,I am going to make a few of these in different colours and sizes 🎃

Super cute!!!!

[@ramonagirl82]

Your instructions are great! I'm having a hard time pushing and pulling through at the end to squish it a little. I bought a metal needle but even that won't go thru the batting inside. I'm using stuffing from a pillow but that shouldn't matter. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Hermosas!!… GRACIAS 😍

[@lindaellis9246]

I have really enjoyed this tutorial, it was easy to follow along. Thank you. Do you do anything for Christmas?

[@wheelwithheelsCanada]

I don't know how I am just finding your channel now. I have purchased 5 pumpkin patterns so far to make 200 for wedding favors for my childs wedding and they're either too small or too difficult of a pattern. Do you think this size would work? I think I could make these following your video and a pattern if you have one available. Thank you for any tips you can give.

[@novamcclung5382]

That would be perfect on a plate of dried fruit

[@TheButterygoodness]

Very nice tutorial! Something tells me you are also a knitter. The way you wrap your yarn is very similar.

[@user-jn7dc6nw1e]

Love your pumpkin pattern. I need to know doing a 40 stitch pumpkin what would be the inches to finish?

[@JustBeCrafty]

Hello! You'll just want to get started on it. Once you have a few rows completed, measure the width. Multiply that number X2 and that's your length! (The length should be 2 times the width.)

[@Banyus10]

Köszönöm :)

[@tiffanyhanson3701]

Thank you for this video! How many pumpkins did you get from your ball of yarn?

[@ellenlowery6497]

Is the a way you judge the width by the height of a pumpkin. Like maybe 2 times the height for width?

[@soylicious_candleco]

Hey can you please if increasing the number of stitches in first chain will make it bigger?

[@kimm59]

Very nice video I tried another one and it was impossible

[@rachelgomez9077]

Mine came out a little lopp sided. But r pumpkins suppose to be perfectly round? It was my first one. I'm gonna keep on trying.

[@jackieflesner3118]

How many stitches for the bigger pumpkin

[@JustBeCrafty]

You can find the pattern for all the sizes in the blog post here! justbcrafty.com/2019/10/candy-corn-knit-coaster-pattern-and-video-tutorial.html
