This wonderful crochet pumpkin pattern by Weronika Miechowicz offers a simple way to create a gorgeous seasonal decoration. The pumpkin features a beautiful, textured look and a bold leaf element, resulting in an exceptionally attractive design. Would you like to give it a try?
Can Beginners Make This Crochet Pumpkin Pattern?
Although the pumpkin’s design might look intimidating, this pattern is very beginner-friendly. Its body is worked with half double crochet stitches, and there are step-by-step photo instructions that walk you through each step. The leaf element with a beautiful ribbed look is done by working single crochets in the back loops, and then it’s sewn onto the top of the pumpkin.
What Yarn Do I Need to Crochet a Pumpkin?
You can make your pumpkin using whatever yarn you want. The thicker the yarn, the bigger and bulkier your piece will get.
This pattern calls for medium-weight yarn and a 5 mm crochet hook, resulting in a 5.9” x 5.9” (15 cm x 15 cm) pumpkin. You will also need fine yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook for the leaf and stem elements.
Perfect for Fall Displays and Gift Giving
This handmade pumpkin will make a fantastic home decoration during the fall season. Place it in your living room, kitchen, or hallway – wherever you need that extra bit of seasonal touch. It will look beautiful when displayed on the table, desk, dresser, or even on the floor. You can use it on its own or make it a part of your fall centerpiece.
What’s more, this pumpkin is so easy to complete that it’s worth making more than one to give to family or friends!
