Add some cozy charm to your fall decorating this year with the Chunky Fall Pumpkins crochet pattern by Heather J Anderson! Use them all around your home for cute little autumn accents — on tabletops, mantels, or in centerpieces — however you like. The pattern includes three sizes of pumpkins to mix and match them for a festal look!
What You’ll Need to Make a Crochet Pumpkin
This pumpkin crochet pattern calls for super bulky yarn to get that characteristic chunky texture. The exact yarn used by the author is Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick because it is so soft and has that cozy weight.
Maybe you’d prefer a slightly smaller pumpkin? In that case, change it out for a bulky yarn, but remember to size down your hook to either 6.5 mm or 8 mm.
Apart from yarn, you’ll also need some standard stuffing and a tapestry needle for sewing it up.
Step-by-Step Guide to Crocheting Pumpkins
This crochet pumpkin pattern is easy enough for beginners and uses half double crochet stitches worked in rows.
Begin your project with a foundation chain for the size of the pumpkin you desire. Work each piece as a flat rectangle, which means you don’t have to use any increases or decreases.
Once the flat piece is ready, sew it together and cinch both ends to create the pumpkin’s shape. Don’t forget to stuff the piece to the desired fullness.
How to Use Crochet Pumpkins in Your Fall Decor
These chunky crochet pumpkins are versatile decorative ideas that will add warmth and character to any space. You can place them on mantels, add them to wreaths, or group them together in a bowl for a cute, seasonal centerpiece.
Because they are made in a soft texture and offer natural color options, they will work well with both rustic and modern designs — this makes them a staple for autumn decorations.
