Difficulty: Intermediate

Crochet yourself a cozy, textured pumpkin! This design uses a mix of traditional and specialty stitches, including herringbone and reverse stitches to create beautiful ridges, symmetry and unique shaping. The result is a sturdy, richly textured pumpkin perfect for fall décor.

This is an intermediate-level pattern. While it doesn’t require advanced shaping, it does involve working stitches in reverse across full rows, which may be new for some crocheters. To support you, I’ve included step-by-step photo tutorials and two video demonstrations for all specialty stitches used.

This pattern uses technical writing and is not designed to teach you how to crochet or how to read crochet patterns. You must know these skills to complete this project: Making a chain, single crochet, reverse single crochet, herringbone single crochet, reverse herringbone single crochet, working in front loop only, fastening off, sewing in any ends, and basic sewing skills. The pattern is designed to instruct you how to make this specific item under the assumption the crocheter knows the skills listed above. In the event you need support please reach out to me directly at support@hookandfibermade.com and I can assist you. Thank you for your understanding.
