Last Minute Crochet Pumpkins Pattern

These simple crochet pumpkins are worked in rows.

Crochet Pumpkins (both sizes)

Using your 6.5 mm (K) hook for the small pumpkin OR the 9 mm (N) hook for the large pumpkin:

R1: Ch 16, sk the first ch, 1 sc in each rem ch across, ch 1, turn. [15]

R2-32: 1 sc in the BL of each sc across, ch 1, turn. [15]

Do not finish off. Proceed to the finishing instructions.

Finishing Instructions

Fold the fabric in half to bring R1 and R32 together and slip stitch through the rem loops of both rows to seam. 

Finish off leaving 20-inches of yarn for assembly. 

Thread your yarn end on your yarn needle. Weave your yarn end back and forth through the row ends before pulling to tighten and to close the one end of the pumpkin, leaving a gap large enough for the cinnamon stick to fit inside for the stem. Secure the yarn by working it under 2 stitches in opposite directions (so the top of the pumpkin doesn’t try to reopen again after you add the stuffing).

Thread the yarn inside the pumpkin from the center of the cinched row ends and bring it out to the other side of the pumpkin (the opposite edge of the row ends you just closed). 

Stuff the pumpkin with Poly-fil (being careful not to overstuff and make gaps between your stitches for the Poly-fil to show through) then cinch the other row ends closed using the same method as above.

TIP: Keep your fingers between the Poly-fil stuffing and the edge so you don’t get any on the yarn you are weaving with. This will keep the stuffing inside the pumpkin instead of all over the pumpkin.  

Weave in any remaining ends securely.
