Show And Tell #47 - Pumpkin Patch

FO's

- I show off the Hanging Basket Set. If you click the link before, you can purchase a downloadable PDF version. If you prefer the free versions they are as follows: Convertible Hanging Basket, Over-The-Rod Hanging Basket, and Pocket-Style Hanging Basket. I used a single skein of Bernat Home Dec to make the set.

- Little Grey Pumpkin using the Spice & Clove Knit and Crochet Pumpkins pattern. I used Caron Simply Soft in the Grey Heather colorway.

- The slightly bigger pumpkin was made roughly using the above pattern. I used Red Heart Grande in the Oatmeal colorway.

- I made the most adorable tiny pumpkin using the Pumpkin pattern. The yarn is from Undead Yarns in the This is Halloween colorway held double. I then made a second one that was slightly larger using the same pattern and yarn (I just increased the number of rows and the stitches within each row).

- I modified the Little Rustic Pumpkin pattern for the next pumpkin and used some scrap Knit Picks Felici yarn held double.

- I also made a pumpkin using some scrap acrylic yarn I had in an Orange and Black colorway.

WIPs

- I'm still stitching along on the Sweet As Pie kit from the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery.

- The BlueSand Cardigan is coming along. I hope I can wear it before it gets warm again!

Life

- I've been recording other parts of my life besides the crafty goodness and I'd like to share it with you all! I think that I'm going to start another channel to house everything besides the crafty bits because I think it will probably just be easier in case some of you are only interested in the yarn (and who could blame you). :D

Pocket-Style Hanging Basket - Crochet Pattern

Notes

- The step up chains do not count as stitches in this pattern.
- When working in the round, the pattern states to "join with sl st." This means to join in the first hdc in the round.
- On the next round, when the next stitch(es) are worked into the first stitch, that is the same stitch that you slipped stitch into to join.
- The finished basket is turned inside out so that the "wrong side" is what is displayed. Keep that in mind if you make any modifications.

Materials

- Yarn - 1 skein of Bernat Home Dec (I used the Aqua colorway)
- J 6.00 mm Crochet Hook
- Measuring Tape
- Scissors
- Tapestry Needle

Abbreviations
