Harvest Moon Amigurumi Pumpkins

This week, let's celebrate autumn by crocheting a small collection of stuffed pumpkins in various sizes and colors. Perfect for decorating your home, gifting, or adding to a seasonal display, these little amigurumi pumpkins are quick wins that come together in just a few hours each. You'll practice basic amigurumi techniques—increasing, decreasing, and stuffing—while creating something tactile and Instagram-ready. With Halloween just around the corner, pumpkins are the quintessential October motif, but these are cozy and cute rather than spooky. Customize yours with different yarns: burnt orange, cream, pale green, or even deep burgundy. This challenge works beautifully as a series—make one daily and arrange them for a gorgeous flat-lay photo by week's end. Whether you're a beginner tackling amigurumi for the first time or an intermediate maker looking to play with yarn colors and sizing, this project is forgiving and endlessly riffable. Add stems, leaves, or experiment with embroidery details to make each pumpkin uniquely yours.
