4mm or size 8 hook. 8 ply or worsted weight yarn

You need 4 colours: Brown for stalk and base, light green for body, lighter green or lemon for colour splotch. Leaf green

Large Pear

Starting with brown
1. 2ch, 6sc into 2nd ch from hook, slst into first ch.


Change to green
2. 1ch, 2sc each stitch around slst first ch = 12
3. 1ch, (1sc next st, 2sc next st) around, slst first ch = 18
4. 1ch, (1sc next 2st, 2sc next st) around, slst first ch = 24
5. 1ch, (1sc next 3st, 2sc next st) around, slst first ch = 30
6. 1ch, (1sc next 4st, 2sc next st) around, slst first ch = 36
7. 1ch, (1sc next 5st, 2sc next st) around, slst first ch = 42
8 – 11. 1sc around on 42st, start each round with 1ch, and join with a slst

Make a colour splotch
12 – 14. 1ch, 1sc next 6, using a lighter green, 1sc next 5, working over main colour, then pick up main colour and continue round. Leave the second colour behind work. When doing the second round, gently bring lighter colour across back of work be careful not to pucker your pear.

15. 1ch, (1dc next 5st, 2sc together) around, slst first ch = 36
16. 1ch, 1sc around on 36st, join with a slst
17. 1ch, (1sc next 4st, 2sc together) around, slst first ch = 30

24. 1ch, (1sc next st, 2sc together) around, slst first ch = 12
25. 1ch, 2together around, slst and cut yarn. Add extra stuffing if needed

Make a stalk
26. Using brown, join to top of pear and work 6sc around. At this point it may be easier to work from the inside of your work in continuous rounds until the stalk measures 1 inch in length. Finish with a slip stitch and cut yarn. Insert your hook through the side of the pear, and up the middle of the stalk and pull the brown thread end through. This gives a neat finish.

Make a leaf
Using leafy colour make 10ch.
Starting in 2nd ch from hook, work back 1sc next 2ch, 1hdc next 3ch, 1dc next 2ch, 1hdc next ch, 1sc last ch.

Work 2sc into stalk about half way up. This will attach the leaf. Continue to work back along under side loops of ch: 1sc next 2ch, 1hdc next ch, 2dc into next ch, 1hdc next ch, 1sc next 3ch, 1slst and finish off. Weave thread end back through the leaf.

Smaller Pear

Work up to and including row 6.

7 -10 1ch, then 1sc around on 36 stitches.
11 – 13. Make a colour splotch as for larger pear, rows 12 -14. Once you master this you can add an extra few stitches in the next row.
14 – 19. as for rows 17 – 22 (omit row 23)
20. as for 24
21 – 22. 1ch, 1sc around on 12st, join with a slst
23. as for 25.

You may need to shape your pear with your hands when you have finished to make it sit just right.

Materials:

Scraps of worsted weight yarn in white, dark brown, and cream
Size F hook1. Using the magic loop technique and white yarn, sc 6 in a circle
2. 2 into each stitch (12)
3. [sc 1, sc 2 into next stitch] 6 times (18)
4. [sc 2, sc2 into next stitch] 6 times (24)
5. [sc 3, sc 2 into next stitch] 6 times (30)
6. -16. [sc 4, sc 2 into next stitch] 6 times (36)
sc in each stitch for 10 rounds
17. ch 10, sc into each stitch
Cut thread, leaving a decent length to draw back down through the stitches and tack down the handle to the bottom of the cup.
In brown, repeat rounds 1-6 and cut thread, leaving a tail long enough to sew it down later.
Using the cream yarn, top stitch (I’m not sure what the proper term is) around in a spiral on the top of your brown circle.
Lightly stuff the cup and insert the brown circle a couple rounds in from the top. Stitch to the inside, stopping when you get near the end of your coffee circle, and readjust stuffing, if you desire yours to be more or less firm. Close up remaining hole and secure, bury the end on the inside and cut thread.
Enjoy, but don’t injest.

Terminology

ch	chain
sc	single crochet (double crochet for UK/Aus)
hdc	half double crochet (half treble crochet for UK/Aus)
sl st	slip stitch (single crochet for UK/Aus)
st	stitch

You will need…

• E US/3.5mm crochet hook
• Small amount of worsted weight yarn in orange, plus brown or green for stalk
• Yarn needle


Pumpkin

Note: The main part of the pumpkin is worked in rows. All stitches are worked in back loops only.
Ch 16.

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 2 ch, hdc in next 9 ch, sc in last 3 ch. (15 st)

Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc in next 5 st, hdc in next 5 st, sc in next 5 st. (15 st)

Row 3: ch 1, turn, sc in next 3 st, hdc in next 9 st, sc in next 3 st. (15 st)

Rows 4-25: repeat Rows 2 and 3 eleven times more. (15 st)

Row 26: Repeat Row 2 once more (15 st).

Fold the rectangle in half so that Row 26 is matched up with the starting chain. Sl st through both layers (Row 26 and the starting chain) to form a tube. Fasten off, leaving a long yarn end to close the ends of the pumpkin.

To form the bottom of the pumpkin, use a yarn needle and the long yarn end to gather around one of the open edges with running stitch.

Draw the stitches tightly together, then knot the yarn to keep the end closed. Note: if you are using animal eyes for your pumpkin, insert them now, about halfway up the pumpkin, and attach the backs.

Make sure the yarn end and needle are on the outside of the base of the pumpkin, then stuff the pumpkin through the top opening. Pass the yarn end up through the middle of the pumpkin to the open edge, then use a running stitch around the stitches of the top edge. Draw up the stitches around the top to close it. Knot the yarn in this position.

Shaping (optional)

If the pumpkin is too tall, you can shape it by passing the yarn from the top middle down through the pumpkin to the centre hole at the bottom, then inserting the yarn needle at the bottom, one stitch away from where it exited the pumpkin, and passing the yarn end back up through the pumpkin to the top. Draw the yarn tighter until you like the shape. Knot the yarn in this position (the knot will be covered by the stalk).


Stalk

Make a magic ring, ch 1.


Rnd 1: 5 sc in magic ring. (5 st)


Rnds 2-5: sc in each st around. (5 st)
Rnd 6: (sc in next st, ch 2, sc in same st) four times, sc in next st, ch 2, sl st in same st.

The base of the stalk should flare out into a star/pentagon shape. Fasten off, leaving a long yarn end to attach the stalk to the pumpkin.

Use a yarn needle and the long yarn end from the stalk to sew the base of the stalk to the centre top of the pumpkin.

Embellishment Ideas

Keep your pumpkin realistic, or embellish it with a cute face (round black eyes and an embroidered smiley mouth) or a scary Halloween face (cut eye and mouth shapes from black felt and glue to the pumpkin).

SC - Single CrochetSL ST - Slip StitchSC DEC - Single Crochet DecreaseST - StitchMC - Magic Circle

Single Crochet Decrease - Insert your hook in the first single crochet, wrap the yarn over your hook, pull through the loop, leave the 2 loops on your hook. Insert the hook in to the next loop. Wrap the yarn over your hook and pull through. You will have 3 loops on your hook. Pull through all 3 loops to make the single crochet decrease.

Continual Round - Instead of joining at the end of a round, do a single crochet in the first stitch. The purpose of the continual round is to eliminate ugly seams that will appear with joining.

Ending Continual Round - There will be a ridge from the last stitch of the continual round. To end the round even, skip 1 stitch and slip stitch in the next. This will even out the round.

NOTE: This project provides two techniques to start rounds.

Magic Circle Foundation - The magic circle is an alternative to the chain start and will give a nice tight closure to the beginning circle.

Chain Foundation - The magic circle can be replaced with a chain start. For this project you can start with a chain 3 or 4, adjusting the chain size as needed.

Customizing


Your acorn will need a cute face. This can be as simple as just two eyes, or you can embroider on a nose and/or mouth as well - it’s up to you!
Suggestions for the eyes (approx 6mm diameter):

• sew on small round beads or buttons
  
• use animal (safety) eyes
  
• embroider circles to make an alert acorn
  
• embroider ‘u’ shapes to make a sleeping acorn
  
• glue on googly eyes
