Tip:

Stuff your pumpkin with fabric scraps for an eco-friendly filling that adds a firm yet flexible shape

Materials Needed:

• No. 4 Medium Weight Yarn (Orange recommended)
• 4mm Crochet Hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry Needle
• Stick (for the pumpkin stem)
• Stuffing

Pattern:

Starting Chain:

• Make a slip knot, chain 19 (or any odd number + 2 for desired size).

Row 1:

• Half Double Crochet (HDC) into the third chain from the hook and each chain across. You should have 19 HDC.

Row 2 (Popcorn Stitch Row):

• Chain 1, turn. This chain does not count as a stitch.
• Double Crochet (DC) into the first stitch.
• Popcorn Stitch in the next: 5 DCs into the same stitch, remove hook, count 5 DCs back, insert hook from front to back, pull loop through, slip stitch to complete the popcorn.
• 1 DC in the next stitch, then Popcorn Stitch in the following stitch. Repeat – across. End with 1 DC in the last stitch. You should have 9 popcorn stitches.

After Row 3:

• Chain 1, turn. Work 1 HDC in each stitch across (including the tops of the popcorn stitches and DCs), totaling 19 HDC.

Row 4:

• Repeat Row 2.

Row 5:

• Repeat Row 3.
• Repeat the pattern (Row 2-5) until you have a total of 8 rows of popcorn stitches, making sure to end with a popcorn row.
• After the final popcorn row, work 2 more rows of HDC (to mirror the starting sequence).

Finishing Steps:

Seam:

• Fold the piece right sides together. Slip stitch the sides together to form a tube.

Close Bottom:

• Using a tapestry needle and a long piece of yarn, run a stitch around one end of the tube. Pull tight to cinch, sew securely to close.

Stuff the Pumpkin:

• Turn right side out, stuff firmly.

Close Top:

• Repeat the running stitch around the open end, pull tight, but not completely close – you need a small opening to insert the stem.

Add Stem:

• Place your stick into the center of the top opening as a stem. You can secure it with a bit of glue if you prefer.

Decorate:

• Optional, add any decorations like crocheted acorns, tied around the stem with jute cord, or leaves.
