Edition 14 is the last edition of the 2025-26 academic year. See you next year!
Crochet your own adorable pumpkins using the pattern below! It's advised that you use a 4-5 millimeter crochet hook and medium weight yarn. You'll also need a little bit of stuffing. You can buy stuffing at a crafting store, or perhaps use some pieces of fabric from an old shirt or a few cotton wads.

Finish of the pumpkin
Take a needle, and a long piece of the wool used to make the main body of the pumpkin
Take the needle and take it through the centre of the bottom, and bring it through at the top, just by where the stalk starts
Create a loop by putting the wool under where it came from and bring it round on the opposite side
Pull tight to create a “dent” in the pumpkin
Repeat 2 more times so you end up with 6 bumps on the pumpkin
