Cozy Alpine Pumpkin
"These pumpkins are so fun to make! Using the popular alpine stitch, they work up quickly and add some unique texture and autumn cheer to any centerpiece or mantel. I am sharing a free version of the pattern below, but you can also purchase an inexpensive printable ad-free PDF from Etsy or Ravelry so you can easily refer to the directions without the annoying pop-ups and ads or having your screen fade to black. If you enjoy this pattern and are looking for another pumpkin pattern to crochet, look no further than the Cozy Bobble Pumpkin. This pumpkin features the fun bobble stitch to create a crocheted pumpkin patch unlike any other. This one was one of the first pumpkin patterns that I ever published. It’s the one that really got me started designing and publishing and blogging and all the things. Sometimes just a small little design can take you where you want to go. "
