Rustic Pumpkins

Fall is on the way and I can’t tell you how excited I am!

I don’t think there is anything more Fall than a Rustic Pumpkin! When Mary Maxim sent me the Rustic Pumpkins Kit to make and share, you bet I was over the moon! I mean just the name itself is my style to a ‘T’!

When you grab your own Rustic Pumpkins Kit you get to pick THREE colors from the Woodlands Yarn line. (Fantastic yarn, more on that in a bit) I chose Moss, Beige Heather and Stardust.

Here is what I have done so far!

I have finished up my first of the Rustic Pumpkins and I am currently working on my second! I just love how these fall decorations are constructed. They look a bit on the complicated side, but I promise they are easier than they look! This stitch technique creates an interesting yet simple texture that is sure to wow your guests this holiday season! Perfect for a table centerpiece, in your entrance way, or if you are like me on the piano you do not know how to play!

Now that I have started my second one, this pattern is a breeze! It took me a little over a day to complete my first of the Rustic Pumpkins while chasing a toddler and doing laundry, so they’re super quick!

The Rustic Pumpkins are made using Woodlands Yarn by Mary Maxim. This yarn is 90% acrylic, 10% alpaca and super soft! It has some serious squish and makes nice fluffy stitches! I’m only on my second pumpkin but with both skeins I found the center pull right away which is always a plus!

I hope you will go grab a kit for yourself! I’m going to get back to my Pumpkins now and I will be sure to share as soon as I have finished the three Rustic Pumpkins!

Best, Brianna
