[@patfadala-2670]

Thanks you for explaining so a beginner understands. Best video I’ve seen.

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

Awe wow! Thank you for your sweet comment! I’m glad you found my video helpful. 😊

[@debbielirette5367]

Love this pumpkin! Your instructions and video are very clear and makes me think “I can do this”. So I will give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

You’re so welcome! And you totally can do it! Let me know if you have any questions along the way! 🧡

I've been looking for this exact type of pumpkin crochet! Thank you so much! Great video ❤

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

Awe yay! You're so welcome!

[@heidiford4743]

have made 2 already watching your video. I love that you show us how to fix misses on the loops instead of editing the video to seem perfect. real life lessons equal real life results!

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

This makes me so happy! I'm so glad that my video was helpful. I always try to keep things real, because in real life mess ups happen. Thanks for your comment! :)

[@debbielirette5367]

My pumpkin is done and it turned out great! Those stitches at the end really made a difference. 😊

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

Oh yay!! I’m so glad! Yes it made a huge difference for mine too! Otherwise it’s just a round ball with a stem 🤣

[@brendalucas1632]

First time watching your video. Will be making this pumpkin. Thank you for sharing

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

You’re welcome! ❤️

I really liked your method. Thanks for making this video. I’m still fairly new to chunky yarn projects. My biggest issue was connecting the two ends. I always left a space or it looked bad. Your method helped a lot. Also, I’ve used the Bernat yarn on my other projects and really like the soft feel of the finished product. However, I struggled with consistency on the loops when making the pumpkin. I found the yarn from Hobby Lobby to work best. It had just the right amount of thickness where the loops don’t get lost as rows were added.

Excellent video. I love how quick it works up. I made 2 hrs evening😃

Thank you for the great instructions. Love it.❤

[@tiffinyostler1]

That is adorable!! Thanks for sharing. Did you know you can get upholstery needles from the craft stores that are like 10-12 inches long. It makes that last part so much easier to get the needle all the way through the pumpkin. 💕💕😊

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

Oh that’s a great tip! Thank you!

[@goldflute]

Thank you for this tutorial! My pumpkin turned out great!

[@faith2ful]

this is the best instructional video‼️I subscribed immediately😊. also your sweater with stars looks so cute.

[@valeriemabry8184]

What a wonderful instructional video! Thank you so much for sharing. I do have a question. I've made three so far and all of the exterior weaving runs horizontally. However, the interior runs vertically. If I wanted, would there be any reason not to turn it inside out to have the vertical on the exterior? Thank you! Valerie

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

Yes you can definitely turn it inside out if you like the look of that side better! That’s a great question! It would be super cute to have some of both - I love that idea!

[@valeriemabry8184]

@@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt thank you so much for the information. I'm going to have a pumpkin patch before long:)!

[@KalyaParker-Livesey]

thank you! How would you make the stem rather thsn using wood?

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

Honestly I would just find whatever supplies I have around the house. For example, maybe taking a bundle of straws and wrapping them with some twine/jute - something weird along those lines. Or wrapping a popsicle stick with some brown yarn. Just some ideas to get you going! :)

[@wendyverdon6450]

I am so not super crafty, mine looked horrible, will redo it later. THank you for the tutorial it is a great tutorial

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

There are so many things I’ve tried that look horrible the first 1, 2 or 3 times. Hang in there, you can totally do this!

[@savanahgregory4680]

Is it the same process as making a pouf?? I watched a couple times and I think it is, I just want to make sure before walking into it 😅

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

@@savanahgregory4680 yes, pretty much the exact same thing! Just adding the stem at the end. :)

[@dlawrence1314]

What kind of needle do you use at the end?

[@SandstoneCandleBar]

How much yard do you use for that size pumpkin?

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

It took less than 1/2 a skein.

[@BobyColslaw]

My first one I forgot to flip back over and it came out lumpy but cute 😂

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

I’ve done that before. I think the lumps add character 🤣
