The Autumnal Pumpkins crochet pattern by Shannon Long is the perfect project for beginners looking to bring a little flavor of fall into their home. The pumpkins are easy to make worked from a simple rectangle with the use of basic stitches. Follow this pattern to make a beautiful pumpkin set for festive gifting or display.
Yarn to Create the Coziest Pumpkins
For this crochet pumpkin pattern, Shannon used Blue Fern Yarns. However, any fingering or DK weight yarn will look just as great. Pair it with a 3 mm crochet hook to achieve the best results.
Go for pale pinks, purples, and violets to give your pumpkins a romantic appearance or you can stick to traditional fall colors with deep oranges, browns, and golds.
Stitching Together Your Seasonal Pumpkins
Rectangular construction makes these Autumnal Pumpkins easy enough even for beginners.
Begin by making the foundation chain and then work back and forth with half double crochets. After crocheting the pieces, the edges are sewn together and stuffed to form a perfectly shaped pumpkin.
How to Display Your Crochet Creations
Whether you stack them as a centerpiece, spread them across a mantel, or use them to decorate your porch, they’ll add a whimsical touch to any space. Also — you can give them, as thoughtful handmade gifts to friends and family, bringing a piece of fall into their homes too!
