Crochet Harvest Cloth and Pumpkin Pouch

 Pumpkin Pouch lays out to a Harvest Cloth Doily 🎃🫐

Harvest Cloth Pumpkin Pouch Pattern

The votes are in and the Harvest Cloth & Pumpkin Pouch Pattern is back!

Etsy's AI might think it's a simple washcloth, but we know better, don't we?  While it's great for storing soap and other goodies, it was just too charming to be scrubbing things.  But if you want to use it as a washcloth, I highly recommend holding two strands of yarn together.

This pattern is a celebration of all things fun and creative, with the coming of Fall. It is perfect for making:

*  Pumpkin Pouch:  The drawstring makes it into a delightful little bag to hold gifts, candy, or other
    Autumn treasures.  The best part, the drawstring is an accent that stays in the cloth where it is supposed
    to when it is lying completely flat.
*  Stitch Learning Project:  This pattern is a great way to learn or practice some new stitches techniques.
    You'll get a fantastic handle on treble crochet (Tr) and front and back post stitches (FP/BP)

So grab your hook and let's make some fun, not-quite-washcloth pumpkin pouches, crocheting in the round!

Thank you for stopping by.
Best wishes and happy crocheting! ♾️🧶➰
