Add a wool-wrapped pumpkin to your Thanksgiving tablescape with this easy fall crochet pattern!Â
What you’re favorite thing on the table at Thanksgiving? Perfectly glazed turkey? Cranberry sauce? Mashed potatoes and gravy?
Well, this year your answer can be YARN! 🙂
You’ve probably already picked up on the fact that I love to combine DIY materials to create unexpected results (hello, crocheted flip flop slippers, popsicle stick hexagon shelves and coffee stirrer wall art), so when I saw this incredible L.B. Collection Natural Wool from Lion Brand, I knew that it needed to become part of my fall decor.
And that place is right in the middle of my dining room table.
When Thanksgiving is over, I look forward to using this chunky wool basket to hold my ever-growing scissor collection.
Just kidding! Make it a few days ahead of time so you can enjoy it for as long as possible!
I love to see what you make! Tag me on Instagram (@makeanddocrew and #makeanddocrew) to show off your stitches!
