I am ready for nice cool weather and pumpkins everywhere and wearing an adorable Pumpkin Beanie is a plus! The Pumpkin Beanie is such a fun beanie to make and you can get as creative as you want. If you just want the textured beanie and adding a stump you can. You can also add an adorable leaf or two and the don't forget the curly vine. If you have a little girl, you can always add an adorable flower with an alligator clip that can be attached and detached. This beanie has an advanced stitch, which is the front post double crochet, but don't worry it is simple to work up. If you take your time, sewing on the pieces is simple and it is all worth it!
