Mini Crochet Pumpkin is Perfect For Fall
Since it is the season of all things pumpkin, I thought I would whip up a quick little crochet pumpkin! 🍂 I previously made a pumpkin-inspired blanket, so I thought why not make an actual pumpkin too!
This little pumpkin even has an adorable crochet leaf which gives it an extra festive touch. Read on down to find out how to make one of these cute crochet pumpkins for yourself but first let’s talk about the yarn you’ll need.
The Yarn That’s Perfect for This Easy Crochet Pumpkin
To make a crochet pumpkin all you need is some cotton yarn (I used Lily Sugar N Cream), a crochet hook, and a yarn needle to make this quick 10-minute project! Yep. It is that simple to crochet a pumpkin!
I’d suggest sticking with cotton yarn because it is so easy to wash and reuse without it losing its shape. Check out the yarn below that I used to see if you’d like to use it too! Check out the yarn below so you can make these cute Halloween or Fall Crochet Pumpkins!
Add This Pumpkin Applique to Most Anything!
The possibilities are endless with this cute pumpkin! Add it to anything you can think of for a cute touch! You can add it to a blanket, key chain, or even a canvas tote bag. I would go even a step further and add little black eyes to it to make it a Halloween appliqué too! Read on down for the full FREE pumpkin tutorial!
