Designer Notes

This pattern was lovingly designed for my first granddaughter, Ella Margaret Rose, born in early fall. The ribbed texture reminds me of a real pumpkin’s ridges, and the curly stem vines add just the right touch of whimsy. Whether you’re crocheting for a newborn in your life or just love fall makes, this one is close to my heart — and I hope it becomes a favorite for you too.
