This fun chunky pumpkin pattern checks all the boxes!

Using an easy variation of the double crochet stitch, the Linked Double Crochet Stitch grows quickly while still eliminating the gaps between the stitches - no filling showing through on this one!

I have a unique way to begin working in the round for this stitch as well. You are essentially working a spiral patchwork stitch! You will be working in the round without a join or seam. A much nicer finished appearance.

I love the checkered look of my pumpkin - just a little bit different than plaid and so much easier to keep track of your colors! You won't have a ton of ends to weave in, either! I drop and pick up yarn, crocheting over the non-working color throughout. And, because this pattern is checkered, you will be carrying the same color as the stitches you are working in from the previous round. So, there will be no color bleed through in this project!
