Calabaza de Arce (Crochet)

The granny square construction is such a clever twist—it makes the pumpkin look textured and modern instead of the usual plain crochet. I’ve already finished two for my mantel and the pattern instructions were clear enough that I didn’t get tangled up once.

I’m not usually patient with patterns, but this one clicked after the first square—the granny square twist makes the pumpkin look way more textured than the plain ones. It’s a fun afternoon project and the finished size sits perfectly on my mantel.

The granny square construction gives it such a fun, textured look that stands out from the usual plain pumpkins. I’ve already got it on the mantel with my other fall decor and it’s the coziest piece in the room.
