A Lamb and a Pumpkin

A Lamb and a Pumpkin together ... a perfect pairing for fall.

I continue to crochet using yarn from my stash most recently completing A Lamb and a Pumpkin. 

This lamb was was made using a multi-coloured textured yarn for the hood and body while the face and legs were made using beige worsted weight yarn. The textured yarn was challenging as it varied from thin to thick tending to snag and catch on the hook. Challenging yet so worth the extra effort. I love the look of this lamb. Isn't he sweet?

 

In keeping with the season, I also made a little orange pumpkin. 

A Lamb and a Pumpkin ... most definitely a perfect pairing for fall.

Fall Crochet

I continue to crochet using yarn scraps, but I've switched to making owls and pumpkins for fall. 

This owl was made using a 4 mm hook with worsted weight Bernat Handicrafter cotton yarn following this free pattern by blogger Divine Debris with a couple small changes. I omitted the wings and added ear tufts. I still have lots of cotton yarn, so might crochet a couple more. Owls make great gifts for little ones.

These pumpkins were made using a 3.5 mm hook with bulky Bernat Alpaca yarn in natural and tundra following this free pattern by blogger June on PlanetJune. I made some pumpkins last year in this size (3.5" across) and larger by simply doubling the pattern, but gave them all away. Luckily, I still have enough yarn to make a couple more. White pumpkins are great for both fall and winter decorating.

 

I like using yarn scraps. It's practical and fun making each owl unique. I think this owl looks great from both the front and back in this mix of colours. I want to make more.

I am currently working on another owl in slightly different colours as my Fall Crochet continues. I will be sure to share photos when it's done.
