Danyel Pink has closed her crochet website (Danyel Pink Designs) and retired from the world of crochet. Oombawka Design purchased the full rights to this pattern, which means now I can share it with you.

I’m happy to be able to include the Pumpkin Hat with my other free patterns on the Oombawka Design Crochet blog.

If you, or someone you know, is retiring and closing their crochet blog, please feel free to reach out to arrange for your patterns to be included at Oombawka Design too.

The Free Pumpkin Hat Crochet Pattern

0-3 Months, (3-6 Months, 6-12 Months, Toddler, Child, Adult)

This project is worked in rows.

Using your 5.5 mm (I) hook (or the size required for gauge):

Using orange yarn:

Row 1:  Ch 23 (25, 27, 29, 31, 35), hdc in 2nd ch from hook and in each st across, ch 1, turn.  [22 (24, 26, 28, 30, 34) hdc]

Rows 2 – 24 (26, 30, 32, 36, 40): hdc in BL of each hdc across, ch 1, turn.

• Join end-to-end and sl st along the entire length of the hat, finish off. 
• Turn the hat right-side out, so the seam is on the inside of the hat.

Stem  (all sizes)

Using green yarn:

Join with sc at top of hat near seam.  Sc evenly around (1 st per row), do not join.  When you get back to 1st sc, (sc2tog, sc) continuously around until 4-5 sts remain.  Now sc in each st around until you have a 1” stem, finish off.

Finishing Instructions for the Hat (all sizes)

• Optional: Single crochet evenly around the unfinished cuff edge of the hat in orange yarn for a smooth, finished look.

Vine  (all sizes, optional)

Using green yarn:

Ch 15-20.  Work 2-3 sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each st to end.  Finish off.  

Finishing instructions for the Vine

• Using the starting and ending tails, tie the vine in between sts near the stem as shown.

Other Suggestions:

• Crochet a leaf instead of a vine… or add a small white flower blossom to the hat.
• To vary the ribbing/texture of the pumpkin, crochet every 3rd row through both loops, or work a few rows in double crochet instead.
• Use red yarn to make an apple, blue yarn for a blueberry, yellow yarn for a bell pepper, etc.
