September Box: Crochet Pumpkins

There's something magical about the first crisp evening when you can finally feel fall in the air. That moment when you want to curl up with a warm drink and create something that captures the essence of autumn in your hands. That's exactly the feeling I had when I dusted off my crochet hooks for the first time in ages to design these adorable palm-sized pumpkins.

The Story Behind This Project:
I'll be honest - I'm completely obsessed with pumpkins! I love everything about them: eating pumpkin everything, creating pumpkin crafts, carving jack-o'-lanterns, painting them in every color imaginable... you name it, I've probably tried it. But I wanted to bring you something completely new for your fall crafting this year. So I did something I rarely do - I picked up my crochet hooks!

After several attempts and different versions, I finally created the perfect little pumpkin that fits right in the palm of your hand. These aren't massive projects that take forever to complete. Instead, they're the ideal size for those cozy fall evenings when you want to create something beautiful while sipping hot apple cider and listen to the wind rustling the leaves.

- Premium wool yarn in gorgeous autumn orange (enough for 2 pumpkins!)
