Happy Saturday! With U.S. Thanksgiving right around the corner, I thought I’d share this Cornucopia Crochet Pattern with you. This would make the perfect Thanksgiving/Fall centerpiece, along with my Thanksgiving Turkey Crochet Pattern.
Feel free to get creative with the colours of the vegetables used to fill the cornucopia. I used leftover yarn that I had from other projects, but any red, yellow, orange, green, or brown shades would also work!
