Super Easy Crochet Pumpkin Pattern

Super Easy Crochet Pumpkin Pattern- beginner-friendly pumpkins that are made from a crochet rectangle.

Many crochet pumpkin patterns are worked in the round, but these pumpkins are worked flat using a single crochet. Then, they are folded over and seamed, gathered, and stuffed. The stem is created by picking up stitches around the top and working in a single crochet for a few rounds. This pattern is ideal for those who are new to crochet or for anyone looking for a quick and easy project.

Super Easy Crochet Pumpkin Pattern

Yarn: #4 worsted weight yarn (I like Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice)

Crochet hook: Size K

Also needed: fiberfill, yarn needle

Make a loop and ch (chain) 17 sts. 

Turn the chain over and Single Crochet in the back ridges of each chain as pictured below.

Once the row is finished, make a turning chain and turn the work over.

Single crochet in the back of each chain.

Repeat, making a turning chain each time you finish a row. Work until your piece measures 10 inches. Cut yarn, leaving a long tail. 

How to Assemble the Crochet Pumpkins

To assemble the pumpkin: Once you finish crocheting the piece will look like a rectangle.

Fold the piece over and sew the side seam.

Run a stitch around the bottom of the pumpkin and pull to gather.

Add the stuffing to the pumpkin and push the needle through the inside (including the fiber fill). Run a stitch around the top of the pumpkin. Pull to gather. Weave in ends.

To create the pumpkin stem: Pick up the stitches around the top of the pumpkin. Work in single crochet for a few rounds. Break yarn and sew the top of the stem closed. Weave in ends.
