Pumpkin Crochet Pattern
Halloween night is coming! Get in a ghastly spirit and crochet some amigurumi pumpkins with this free pattern by Summerbug Crafts. Add a face for an adorable jack o’ lantern, or keep the pumpkin amigurumi plain for décor.
Hi everyone!
This pumpkin amigurumi isn’t made like your typical crochet pumpkin. This one is made in the round instead of in rows like a classic pumpkin crochet pattern. My free pumpkin amigurumi pattern requires very little assembly besides attaching the stem.
I wanted this pumpkin pattern to stand apart from the decorative ones with the cinnamon stick stems, and I wanted to give my pumpkin a face to resemble a jack O’ lantern.
My amigurumi pumpkin only takes 2 hours to make. It is a very versatile project and can be made in numerous colors with a variety of different faces. You can adjust the tightness of the pumpkin’s indents to have a curvy pumpkin or a more rounded one.
This crochet pumpkin is made using two different sizes of yarn and only one hook size, so even though I consider it a beginner pattern it should get you adjusted to move onto some intermediate patterns.
Clicking on certain links may result in a small commission for me at no extra cost to you. Money generated from this allows me to continue to design and post cute amigurumi patterns for you all!

SS and F/O. Leave a long time for sewing the hole and to make indents on the pumpkin.
Shaping/Indenting: Pull your tail through the hole at the top to the bottom and pull. Pull tail back up to the top and pull. This creates the top indent for the stem to sit and gives the bottom some shaping. Next, take the remaining tail and pull it from the top and across the body of the pumpkin to the bottom. Pull the tail up through the bottom and out the top and repeat the above process as much as you want to make the pumpkin the shape you desire.
Face: Embroider nose and mouth with a scrap of velvet yarn in Blackbird and use a scrap of velvet yarn in Olive for the cheek blush.
