Crochet Jack-O-Lantern Pattern – Easy Fall Decorations – FREE PATTERN – Autumn Decor
Hello!
You may have seen the pattern for this Jack-O-Lantern if you follow my channel, but I also wanted to share the written pattern with you all. This was such a fun project to design!
I used stuffing and a LED tea light to make the face of the Jack-O-Lantern glow. You can also check out my other Jack-O-Lantern pattern where I used felt fabric to make the face!
