Crochet Pumpkin Pouch Tutorial

This project is a small pouch that looks like a crochet pumpkin. You use orange yarn to make the main part of the pouch. You work in circles starting from the bottom. The sides have raised lines to make it look like a real pumpkin.

These lines are made with special stitches. After the orange part, you use green yarn to make a top border with holes. Then, you make a long chain for a string. The string goes through the holes to close the pouch. You also make green leaves and a curled stem to attach at the top. It is very small and cute.
