Follow my free pumpkin lantern crochet pattern and learn how to crochet a lighted pumpkin to decorate your table this Thanksgiving!
My pumpkin crochet lantern pattern calls for Red Heart Super Saver yarn. I used carrot orange, gold, tea leaf, and latte stripe. You can choose different colors or yarn for your pumpkin lanterns. Red Heart has a wide range of color yarn to offer.
On the bottom of the pumpkin lantern is opening where you can fit a LED tea light candle. I like LED candles, especially the ones that can be charged. If you think you’ll be using the LED lights a lot it’s worth buying them with a charger.
