PATTERN LEVEL: BEGINNER

These super simple pumpkins are the perfect first crochet project for beginners! Available in 2 styles: crocheted flat and in-the-round, in 3 sizes each.

For this project you’ll need:

Suggested materials:

• 3.5 mm crochet hook with medium weight yarn (4/Worsted) in pumpkin colours or the colours of your choice
• 4 mm crochet hook with medium weight yarn (4/Worsted) in brown for the stems
• 5 mm crochet hook with super chunky weight yarn (4/Super bulky) in in pumpkin colours or the colours of your choice
• Stitch markers
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle
• Stuffing fibre

Yarn information:

For this project, I used:

• Medium weight yarn (4/Worsted) Red Heart Super Saver Jumbo 100% acrylic from Yarnspirations
• Medium-weight yarn (4/Worsted) Lily Sugar’n Cream 100% cotton from Yarnspirations
• Super chunky weight yarn (6/Super bulky) Bernat Softee Chunky 100% acrylic from Yarnspirations

My abbreviations (based on US terms):

• MR - magic ring
• ST - stitch
• CH - chain
• SL ST - slip stitch
• SC - single crochet
• ( )xNUMBER - number of times you have to repeat everything inside the brackets
• { } - number of stitches worked in the same stitch
• square brackets - total number of stitches on the row

Tips:

• If you’re unfamiliar with any crochet stitches used in this pattern, try searching YouTube for “stitch name + tutorial.” You’ll find plenty of beginner-friendly, detailed video guides.

• Rows without a mention of a chain between them are worked in continuous rounds. To keep track, use a stitch marker to mark the last stitch of each row.

• In crochet, yarn over (YO) and yarn under (YU) refer to how the yarn is wrapped around the hook when making stitches. Yarn over (bringing the yarn over the hook from back to front) is the standard technique and is used throughout all my patterns unless stated otherwise. Yarn under (bringing the yarn under the hook from front to back) creates tighter stitches and a firmer fabric. Using yarn under instead of yarn over may result in slight differences, such as a smaller final piece, more visible slip stitches, and a firmer, less soft texture.
