Is This Crochet Pumpkin Pattern Beginner-Friendly?
Every newbie crocheter can try their hand at this pumpkin crochet pattern because it’s very beginner-friendly. You will work it in the round with basic stitches and then switch to side-to-side rows.
This project wouldn’t be so enchanting without cute covered wire curls and a stem stick that goes down the center of each piece. Therefore, be sure to add these finishing touches to your pumpkins!
What Materials Do I Need for This Project?
For this crochet pumpkin, the designer used Yarn Bee Must Be Merino, which delights with beautiful stitch definition and a soft feel. However, any other yarn should work great too, so don’t hesitate to use up those odd skeins from your stash.
If you want your pumpkins to be the same size as the ones seen in the photos, choose DK-weight yarn and a 3.5 mm crochet hook.
How Big Will My Crochet Pumpkin Be?
When made with suggested supplies, your pumpkins should stand 3″ tall and 4.5″ wide, which makes them perfectly sized for decorating.
Would like to create pumpkin pieces in various sizes? No problem! To do so, try using bigger/smaller hooks combined with thicker/thinner yarn. It’s a simple way to increase or decrease the size of these items without altering the pattern.
Do I Have to Use a Cinnamon Stick for the Stem?
If you want to spread a cozy autumn scent throughout your home, putting a cinnamon stick in a pumpkin is a fantastic idea! But of course, it’s not the only right option to finish off your handmade pieces. Whether you want to keep things simple or don’t have cinnamon sticks, you can crochet the stem instead.
