The summer is not over yet, but these crochet pumpkins by Brittany Dickson make me think of fall instantly! Why not start doing them now and be ready to bring those cozy seasonal vibes sooner? They feature juicy orange shades and soft brown hues, but will look just as good in neutral colors too!
Is This Crochet Pumpkin Pattern Suitable for Beginners?
Yes, it is! This pumpkin pattern features simple techniques and an easy-to-follow video tutorial, which makes it very beginner-friendly. You will use basic stitches only, like chains and half double crochets. You don’t need to know how to crochet in rounds because these pumpkins are created from simple rectangles.
How to Crochet a Simple Pumpkin
The pattern starts by making a foundation chain and then working a rectangle panel with half double crochets in the back loops only. Next, sew both sides of your work together to create a tube. Now you need to form the pumpkin base by cinching the bottom part closed. After stuffing your piece, you will close the top in the fashion and add some shaping.

Can I Make this Pumpkin Without Stuffing?
Achieving a nice squishy feel will be difficult if you don’t stuff your pumpkins. For that purpose, you can use a polyfill commonly used to stuff amigurumi projects. Don’t have it in your stash? In such a case, you can utilize yarn scraps or old stockings to fill in your pumpkins. They will work great too, giving your pumpkins a beautiful, plump look!
How to Use Crochet Pumpkins at Home
These crocheted pumpkins are great as fall decorations. The pattern offers instructions for three differently sized pieces, so you can easily create a lovely table centerpiece or seasonal decor corner. Whether placed one next to the other or piled up for a cute pumpkin tower, they are ready to bring cozy, handmade vibes to every room.
