Crochet the Pretty Pumpkin Pie Granny Square
Crochet pumpkins are making an appearance everywhere at this time of year! And so to start the Fall in New England Cushion Crochet Along, it felt fitting that the first free granny square would be pumpkin themed. This crochet square details everything from the cream to the pie crust of that fall staple and surrounds it with a beautiful fallen leaves on a cream table.

The square is worked in the round. You do not need to turn your work after each row and you continue working in the same direction as before.
[Stitches written in brackets like this are all worked into the same stitch.]
For the first stitch on each row: Crochet 1 chain to move up to the next round if the round starts with double crochet. Crochet 2 chains if the round starts with a half treble crochet, and crochet 3 chains if the round starts with a treble crochet. These chains count as the first stitch in the row.
