The Farmhouse Pumpkin crochet pattern by Grace and Yarn features a delightful modern twist on the iconic fall motif. The pumpkin has an aesthetic cube-like shape and a simple textured look, so you should be able to whip up a whole set in a flash. Great for display, you will find these pumpkin beauties so easy to blend with your home decor.
What Yarn and Hook Work Best for This Pattern?
This pumpkin crochet pattern suggests medium-weight yarn and a 4 mm hook. With these supplies, you will create pieces that measure approximately 4.5 inches tall and 4 inches wide.
The designer used about half a skein (95 yards) of Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton! to make one pumpkin. You can go for soothing neutral colors or traditional fall tones like deep orange or brown. The choice is yours!
How To Crochet the Farmhouse Pumpkin
If you’re a beginner, this crochet pumpkin project will be great for you. You start by crocheting a simple rectangle with half double crochets and slip stitches.
Next, fold your pumpkin panel in half and join both ends with a whip stitch to make a tube. Once done, you will thread your needle through the top edge and pull it tight to close the base of your pumpkin. Now, you can stuff your pumpkin and do the same to close the top.
Don’t forget to add a cute little stem to your pumpkin. It’s worked in rounds using single crochets and increases, stuffed and sewn on the top.
Easy Ways to Resize Your Crochet Pumpkin
The simplest way to adjust the measurements of your pumpkin is to use a different hook size and yarn weight. By using a thicker yarn and a bigger hook, you will get a larger pumpkin.
Another option is to slightly modify the pattern by adding/reducing stitches in the foundation chain. But in this case, you will also need to adapt the number of rounds for the stem.
