Pumpkin Towel Topper
"This simple crochet pumpkin towel topper uses basic crochet stitches throughout so even an adventurous beginner could tackle this project! This easy crochet pumpkin pattern begins with two panels of single crochet worked in a perfect single crochet circle up to the very last round which is a combination of slip stitches, single crochet, half double crochet and dc stitches to create a pumpkin like shape. There is a pumpkin stem to the top as well as an adorable small curly vine for a little extra sweetness. I am using larger safety eyes but you could certainly embroider your own or use a smaller safety eye if you desired. For his smile I went pretty small and I just love it! However, you could do all kinds of different smiles for your version. I have also included instructions to make a jack o’lantern face instead of a happy pumpkin face as well. The towel hangs from inside the sc panels which allows the towel to be removable for easy washing!"
