Tutorial to Crochet Funny Pumpkin Face Applique
This tutorial shows how to make a flat crochet pumpkin for Halloween. You start by making a long chain with orange yarn. Then, you crochet around the chain using double crochet stitches. You make more stitches at the ends to create a round shape.
In the second row, you add more stitches to make the pumpkin look wider. After that, you join green yarn to the top to make a short stem. Finally, you sew on two black buttons for eyes. You use a needle and black thread to stitch a nose and a smile.
