Cozy Alpine Pumpkin

"These pumpkins are so fun to make! Using the popular alpine stitch, they work up quickly and add some unique texture and autumn cheer to any centerpiece or mantel. I am sharing a free version of the pattern below, but you can also purchase an inexpensive printable ad-free PDF from Etsy or Ravelry so you can easily refer to the directions without the annoying pop-ups and ads or having your screen fade to black.
