Who would've thought that pumpkins are not just great for recipes and decors, but would make a cute wearable too? This project is a fun one to make for your little ones and stay in theme come fall. Needless to say, this adorable pumpkin hat quickly became a hit with the mom crowd. Check how I made it below, or get the ad-free printable PDF pattern here.
I knew I wanted to make Jack the Pumpkin Hat crochet pattern to have multiple ways to make it, so I think everyone will like what I've come up with. I'm not sure what it is about pumpkins but I just love decorating with them in the fall. They have such a homey feel to them! Not only are they super homey feeling, but they also look adorable as hats.
The Cream Of The Crop Crochet blog started out as a small little business that only a few knew about and quickly turned into a large blog for all to come together. This year we have accomplished many goals together and I can't thank you enough.
If you like supporting small businesses, perhaps you'd like to support one of my great crochet classes. If you enjoy crocheting simple shapes like rectangles, you may want to check out our Crochet Anything with Rectangles class where you'll take the basic shape you already have down pat and turn it into useful, practical, and beautifully professional projects.
