Knotty Punkin’ is a quick, beginner-friendly crochet pumpkin pattern with loads of cozy fall texture.

Worked flat in simple rows of single crochet with popcorn stitch accents, the piece is then seamed, stuffed, cinched, and shaped into a soft pumpkin that’s perfect for fall decorating, gifting, or market makes.

This updated version includes detailed written instructions, step-by-step photo tutorials, a dedicated Popcorn Stitch tutorial, and a link to a YouTube Popcorn Stitch video tutorial.
