The Crochet Fall Pumpkin Tower is a gorgeous fall statement that adds some autumn cheer to your home, office, or classroom! Three stacked pumpkins, one large, one medium, and one small are crocheted flat then cleverly seamed to make three pretty three dimensional pumpkins. Add a stem and some matching leaves to the top and you have an easy and very satisfying seasonal project. Makes a wonderful table centerpiece too!

Assembly & Finishing:
- Gather all of your parts (see above is you missed how to make any of the parts to our pumpkin)
- Fold each rectangle in half.
- Seam up the side and bottom, and cinch the bottom closed. Leave the top open.
- Stuff pumpkin with filling, then seam the top closed and cinch the top. With the same piece of yarn, wrap yarn tightly around the sides of the pumpkin to create “segments” in the pumpkin, going in through the top, around and beck into the bottom of the pumpkin.
- Repeat until you have about 5 segments, then fasten off with a strong knot and fasten off.
- Weave in any ends.
- Stack the pumpkins as shown large at the bottom, medium in the middle, small at the top.
- Seam them together by running a few stitches through the middle of all three pumpkins.
- Stuff the stem with filling, then seam to the top.
- Sew leaves to the top.
- Weave in any ends that remain and your Crochet Fall Pumpkin Tower is ready to place in your home to add a little autumn beauty just about anywhere!
