    "The post at the top of my staircase has a ball shaped cap. Do you have one like that? Learn how to crochet a pumpkin cover for it! This stretchy cover fits over round post tops for a fun, fall decoration. Fun Fact - the post is called a "newel post" and the top is called a "finial". You can put this pumpkin cover over other 3.5 inch, round objects too, or stuff it and sew it closed at the bottom!"

    Intermediate

    Crochet HookH/8 or 5 mm hook

    Yarn Weight(4) Medium Weight/Worsted Weight and Aran (16-20 stitches to 4 inches)

    Crochet GaugeWorking in back loops only, 16 dc x 8 rows = 4 inches. Use pumpkin as swatch – after row 4, work should measure 4 inches long x 2 inches wide at widest part. Exact gauge is not critical.
