Materials: Noro Hakone , 1 skein (or any super bulky weight yarn)--roughly 108 yards Size P crochet hook Tapestry needle (for weaving ends) Pattern (written in US terms): Loosely chain 18 Row 1: starting on the 3rd chain from the hook, DC across (16 sts). Chain 2. Turn Row 2: DC across (16 sts). Chain 2. Turn. Repeat Row 2 roughly 28 times until 24 inches long (or desired length). Hold starting chain and final row together and line up stitches.

The medium pattern is printed below, with separate notation for the large pumpkin in [brackets]. If I didn't do it that way, it'd take you a week to read it all.  Medium Pumpkin, 9" wide and 7" tall [Large Pumpkin, 11" wide and 9"tall] What You Need: 2 skeins of super bulky weight yarn (I used Lion Brand Hometown USA or Wool Ease Thick and Quick ) in the main pumpkin color 1 skein of super bulky weight yarn in the stem color Size N hook [ Size P hook ] Tapestry Needle for weaving ends Polyfill (or stuffing)...
