What You Need to Follow a Knit or Crochet Pumpkin Pattern!
This round-up is a mix of both crochet and knitting patterns. So check out this list of key supplies for both!
- Crochet Hooks – The first thing you need to follow a crochet pattern is a crochet hook! You can find the right crochet hook size in your yarn band’s description or from the recommended hook section of your crochet pumpkin pattern!
- Knitting Needles – Because this round-up also includes knitting patterns, you will need a pair of knitting needles to follow along. The recommended needle size can be found on your yarn band or in your knitting pattern’s list of materials too!
- Yarn – Make sure to check the pattern to see what yarn weight to use. Each pattern should list a recommended brand or weight in the “suggested yarn” section of the pattern you’re following! You can make sure you have the right weight by checking the yarn band.
- Scissors – A pair of scissors is another important tool that you will use for all of your knitting projects. You’ll need them to cut the yarn and trim any leftover yarn tails when you’re done!
- Stitch markers – You might need stitch markers to keep track of where you are, especially if you’re doing increases or decreases for certain patterns on this list. If you don’t have stitch markers, you can use a strand of scrap yarn—preferably in a different color so it’s easy to see. If you’re working a crochet pattern make sure to use locking stitch markers and not solid ones!
- Yarn/darning needle – You will need a yarn needle or darning needle to sew in the loose ends.
- Free knit or crochet pumpkin pattern – Lastly, you will need a free crochet pumpkin pattern to follow. For more variety, there are also some knitting patterns for pumpkins included in this list!
