Easy-To-Follow Crochet Pumpkin Pattern For Cozy Fall Vibes

Creating the Foundation Chain:

• Make a slip knot.
• Chain 21.

Row 1:

• Starting from the second chain from the hook, work 1 sc in each of the next 3 chains.
• Then, work 3 hdc in the next 3 chains.
• Next, work 8 dc in the following 8 chains.
• Work 3 hdc in the next 3 chains.
• Finally, work 1 sc in each of the last 3 chains.

Row 2 – Row 25:

• Chain 1 and turn your work.
• Work in the back loops only.
• Repeat the following pattern across each row:
• 3 sc
• 3 hdc
• 8 dc
• 3 hdc
• 3 sc

Seam the Sides Together:

• Once you have completed 25 rows, chain 1 and leave a long tail.
• Use a needle to stitch the first row and the last row together, using the front loops of the last row and the single loops of the first row.
• Ensure the stitches line up and create a seamless join.

Close the Bottom:

• Insert the needle in a zigzag manner over the top stitches of the opening.
• Pull tight to close the bottom and secure it with a knot.

Stuff the Pumpkin:

• Insert your filling through the top opening.
• If needed, distribute the filling evenly inside the pumpkin.

Close the Top:

• Similar to the bottom, insert the needle in a zigzag manner over the top stitches.
• Pull tight to close the top and secure it with a knot.
• Hide the remaining yarn tail inside the pumpkin by pulling it through a stitch and trimming.

Stem and Curly Vine

Create the Magic Ring:

Make a magic ring.

• Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch).

Round 1:

• Work 6 sc into the magic ring.

Rounds 2 – 7:

• Work 1 sc into each stitch around (total of 6 sc per round).
• Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round if necessary.

Form the Base:

• In Round 8, increase by working 2 sc in each stitch around (total of 12 sc).
• Slip stitch to the first stitch to join.

Curly Vine:

• Chain 15.
• Starting from the second chain from the hook, work 2 sc in each chain (creating a total of 28 sc).

Attach Stem and Curly Vine:

• Use the remaining tail to stitch the base of the stem to the top of the pumpkin.
• Secure the stem firmly and hide the yarn tail inside the pumpkin.

Final Touch:

• Optionally, you can make additional leaves or a longer vine by adding more chains and stitches.

Completion:

• Feel free to make additional pumpkins in different sizes or colors using this pattern.

Additional Notes:

• If you want a different shape for your pumpkin, for example, to make it more square, simply follow the variation mentioned by chaining 21 and working one hdc in each stitch across the entire row, repeating as needed.
