📌 Before You Begin

💡

Work pumpkins in continuous rounds unless otherwise noted. Use stitch markers to mark round beginning.

💡

The vertical ridge effect is created by working in back loops only for select rounds, creating natural texture.

💡

Stuff pumpkins firmly as you go for best shape definition.

💡

Make all three pumpkins using the same basic pattern, adjusting stitch counts for size variation.

🧶 Pattern Instructions

💡 Tip: Work back loop only rows slowly to create even, visible ridges that define the pumpkin shape.
  1. Round 1
    6 sc in magic ring (6 sts)
  2. Round 2
    Inc in each st around (12 sts)
  3. Round 3
    Sc 1, inc, repeat around (18 sts)
  4. Round 4
    Sc 2, inc, repeat around (24 sts)
  5. Rounds 5-6
    Sc in back loop only in each st around (24 sts). This creates the vertical ridge texture.
  6. Round 7
    Sc in both loops in each st around (24 sts)
  7. Rounds 8-9
    Sc in back loop only in each st around (24 sts)
  8. Round 10
    Sc in both loops in each st around (24 sts)
  9. Rounds 11-12
    Sc in back loop only in each st around (24 sts)
  10. Round 13
    Sc 2, dec, repeat around (18 sts). Begin stuffing firmly.
  11. Round 14
    Sc 1, dec, repeat around (12 sts). Continue stuffing.
  12. Round 15
    Dec 6 times (6 sts). Finish stuffing. Cut yarn leaving 6-inch tail and pull through all sts to close. This creates a small closed hole at the top center where the stem will attach.
Row counter:
  1. Round 1
    6 sc in magic ring (6 sts)
  2. Round 2
    Inc in each st around (12 sts)
  3. Round 3
    Sc 1, inc, repeat around (18 sts)
  4. Rounds 4-5
    Sc in back loop only in each st around (18 sts)
  5. Round 6
    Sc in both loops in each st around (18 sts)
  6. Rounds 7-8
    Sc in back loop only in each st around (18 sts)
  7. Round 9
    Sc in both loops in each st around (18 sts)
  8. Round 10
    Sc 1, dec, repeat around (12 sts). Begin stuffing.
  9. Round 11
    Dec 6 times (6 sts). Finish stuffing and close. This creates a small closed hole at the top center where the stem will attach.
Row counter:
  1. Round 1
    6 sc in magic ring (6 sts)
  2. Round 2
    Inc in each st around (12 sts)
  3. Round 3
    Sc 1, inc, repeat around (16 sts). This expansion creates a more realistic pumpkin shape.
  4. Rounds 4-5
    Sc in back loop only in each st around (16 sts)
  5. Round 6
    Sc in both loops in each st around (16 sts)
  6. Round 7
    Sc 1, dec, repeat around (12 sts). Begin stuffing.
  7. Round 8
    Dec 6 times (6 sts). Finish stuffing and close. This creates a small closed hole at the top center where the stem will attach.
Row counter:
💡 Tip: Proportional stems create visual balance: Large pumpkin uses 5 chains (thicker), Medium uses 4 chains (standard), Small uses 3 chains (delicate). This variation ensures the stem appearance matches pumpkin size.
  1. Large Pumpkin Stem
    With green yarn, ch 5. Sl st in second ch from hook, sc in next ch, hdc in next ch, dc in last ch. Fasten off, leaving 6-inch tail for sewing.
  2. Medium Pumpkin Stem
    With green yarn, ch 4. Sl st in second ch from hook, sc in next ch, hdc in last ch. Fasten off, leaving 6-inch tail for sewing.
  3. Small Pumpkin Stem
    With green yarn, ch 3. Sl st in second ch from hook, sc in last ch. Fasten off, leaving 6-inch tail for sewing.
Row counter:
💡 Tip: Do not create a new opening. The existing hole from the closing round provides the perfect attachment point for the stem.
  1. Attach stems
    Thread yarn needle with tail from stem. Locate the small closed hole created at the top center of the pumpkin body (from decreasing down to 6 sts and pulling yarn through to close). Push the needle through this center hole from the inside outward, passing the stem base through or alongside the hole. Work the needle in and out through the hole and stem base several times to secure the stem firmly to the rounded top. Weave in all ends on the inside of the pumpkin.
Row counter:

✂️ Finishing

After closing each pumpkin, weave in yarn tail securely on wrong side. Attach stems by threading tail through yarn needle and anchoring to top center of each pumpkin using the closed hole created at the end of the body pattern, with several passes through the fabric. Weave all remaining tails to the inside. Gently reshape pumpkins while damp by hand, flattening slightly on bottom and rounding top. Allow to air dry.

🧺 Care Instructions

Spot clean with mild soap and cool water. Air dry completely. Do not machine wash or dry. May be gently reshaped after cleaning. Not recommended for small children due to small parts; keep away from pets.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Worsted). You'll need about approximately 200 yards total, so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Acrylic is budget-friendly and machine-washable; wool gives better stitch definition and drape.
Yes! This is one of the friendlier patterns to start with. You only need to know: sc, inc, dec, ch. Work slowly, count your stitches at the end of each row, and don't be afraid to frog (rip back) and redo a section — that's how everyone learns. Budget about 4-6 hours; beginners often take a bit longer, and that's totally fine.
Usually it's the joining or finishing — where individual sections meet and need to align. Read through the entire pattern once before you start so there are no surprises. Use stitch markers generously to track your place, especially in rounds. If a section looks wrong, count your stitches before proceeding — catching an error early saves a lot of frogging later.
For this pattern, gauge is "16 sc x 16 rows = 4 inches in single crochet". For decorative or non-fitted items it's less critical, but matching gauge ensures you use the right amount of yarn and get the proportions the pattern intends. If your swatch is too small (too many stitches/inch), go up a hook size. Too large — go down.
Spot clean with mild soap and cool water. Air dry completely. Do not machine wash or dry. May be gently reshaped after cleaning. Not recommended for small children due to small parts; keep away from pets. A general rule: when unsure about the yarn, hand wash in cool water with a drop of gentle detergent, squeeze (don't wring), and block flat to dry. This is safe for almost every fiber.
Each section builds on the last, so yes — follow them in order. That said, some finishing sections (like embellishments or optional edging) can be skipped if you prefer a simpler look. Read through all sections before starting so you understand how the pieces fit together and can plan your yarn usage across sections.
