Well now, it’s the last day of November. Like, really the last possible time to post this pattern but I’m doing it. I’m getting out the 11th C2C square of the Plants CAL and I’m doing it at the 11th hour. Ha! Month’s with 5 Tuesdays really throw me off sometimes but anyway, I hope you’re excited for the new Fall Pumpkin Afghan Square.
Yep, I’m still in Fall mode (well mostly, I have started watching Christmas movies but in my heart it’s always Fall) and so I thought might as well pay tribute to Fall but with a pumpkin square. Once again I’m kinda playing it fast and loose with the “plants” name for this CAL by going a gourd for this square but what can I say? It’s one of my favorite pies, I’ve made 3 this season alone.
I also felt like there was space for a pumpkin in this blanket because last month was a Spooky Tree and September’s was a cute Mum Flower, so there needed to be a pumpkin. Ya know what I mean fellow Fall lovers? One needs to have a pumpkin something in a year-long CAL, right? And I’ve done them for all the other CALs (I think, I’d have to double check that, so don’t quote me) so I wanted to do one for this as well.
Any way, I do hope you like this pattern and give it a try. It’s gonna look so fun all collected along with all the other squares. Oh! I am looking for ideas for 2022’s CAL, so if you’ve got some let me know!
Want more CALs? Check out last year’s 2020’s C2C Coffee CAL, 2019’s Coffee Tapestry Squares, and the 2018’s Tapestry Afghan Squares.
I hope you all are healthy and happy and like this new design. Please be kind to one and other, wear your masks, wash your hands, and be safe friends!
Please note: I was provided the yarn for this pattern by Lion Brand Yarn for the purposes of making the C2C Fall Pumpkin Afghan Square, without compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I did enjoy using this yarn, I’ve used it many times and it’s always a great worsted acrylic yarn.

Notes
- This is a C2C pattern worked from the bottom right corner to the top left corner.
- This pattern is a square, so you don’t have to worry about increasing on one side and decreasing on the other.
- Each C2C square consists of 3 double crochets and a ch-3. The directions will only tell you what color (ie: Color A, Color B, etc…) and the number tells you how many squares to make.
- Check out the tutorial by Meghan Makes Do on how to do C2C designs if you’re unfamiliar on this technique.
- You will need to know how to change colors in a C2C for this pattern.
- Rows 1 – 15 you will be increasing and rows 16 – 29 you will be decreasing.
- The odd-numbered rows are worked up and the even-numbered rows are worked down. The even-numbered rows are the Right Side.
