What a cute pumpkin dishcloth. It is two sided. The back is the same as the front. How much fun would it be to use this pumpkin dishcloth to wash your dishes during the Fall and Thanksgiving season? It will fit perfectly in your hand for a time of soapy, sudsy scrubbing of your dishes. The free crochet pattern for the 3D Pumpkin Dishcloth is below if you keep scrolling. Of course the ad free pdf is available to purchase at ETSY and RAVELRY for less than a cup off coffee.
I sometimes use affiliate links in my posts. This won’t cost you anything, but will help offset the cost of yarn and other supplies needed, so that I can continue bringing you crochet patterns and craft ideas. Thank you so much for your support.
Make a few pumpkin dishcloth’s for the kids to use during bath time.
That will make taking a bath so much fun. Especially after a time in the pumpkin patch or a day of raking leaves. The children will gladly get all sudsy when they have these cuties to use in the bath tub.

Giving crocheted dishcloth’s as a gift seems to be a tradition in my area.
You can make a collection of pumpkins, pumpkin dishcloths & pumpkin pot scrubbers. Put them in a basket, throw in a Fall themed towel or two, add a Fall bow to the basket and you have a gift for that special friend.

I am trying to see which rows begin the stem. I think 15-17? Also in row 14 it says drop mc and pick up cc. but I don’t see in the abbreviations what mc and CC are. I am thinking changing colors? Sorry I am trying to branch out some and understand new, more challenging projects. So forgive me if my questions are silly.
Kris says
you are right…the rounds following the round 14 are green (CC). Do you need instruction on how to drop the MC and pull up the CC?
I apologize for not have the MC and CC abbreviations in the stitch key. I have that fixed now. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
God Bless,
Kris

I just finished making this pumpkin and it turned out great. However the curly vine is very short at 7 stitches. It looks longer on the picture. Seven stitches looks pretty short.
