How to Make a Pumpkin Crochet Pattern

These are two basic stitches that most crocheters start with when they are first learning how to crochet, so these crochet pumpkins should be pretty easy to work up.

The Yarn I Used for This Pumpkin
For this little pumpkin, I used Basic Stitch yarn from Lion Brand. It is a worsted weight four yarn that is 100% acyclic, which means it’s perfect for crafting.
This yarn comes in a variety of colors, but I knew when I saw the Optic White and Gold, it would make a perfect neutral crochet pumpkin. Learn more about Basic Stitch to see if it’s a good fit for you.
If you can’t find this yarn any four weight yarn would work like Caron Simply Soft or Red Heart Soft. You could also use YarnSub.com to find the perfect yarn substitution.
You could also use some leftover yarn from your yarn stash and make a colorful pumpkin design. This tiny crochet pumpkin pattern would look great in any color!

Fold up the short ends together, so the ridges are on the outside, and join with a slip stitch seam using the same yarn you worked with previously.
Turn inside out, so the ridges are on the inside and fasten off the yarn, leaving a 15″ to 17″ yarn tail.
With a yarn needle, close up the end that the seam ended on, weaving in and out every other space around the short end.
Continue around, weaving in and out until you reach where started. Pull the yarn tight to close the circle.
After the circle is closed, take the yarn needle down through the center to tighten.
Fill in the opening with Poly-fil, but make sure not to stuff too full, but just until you have the perfect pumpkin shape. With the yarn needle still attached to the yarn that was pulled through.
Weave in the yarn through the short end to close up the top of the pumpkin.
Once you weave in and out to the start, pull to close. Do not close completely, so there is a space to put the stem of the pumpkin. Pull the yarn needle down through the bottom of the pumpkin and back up. Take the yarn off the needle and push the extra yarn down into the pumpkin center.
Next, place the pumpkin stem with glue (I used Beacon 3-1) into the center of the miniature pumpkin.
You are now done with your small but gorgeous pumpkin!
