Carved into this free crochet pumpkin pattern are all the warmly-spiced scenes of autumn evenings—lazy walks through a local pumpkin patch, fingers sticky with seedy strings as you carve out a jack-o-lantern, and the warm aroma of cinnamon wafting from the oven.

While the hearty harvest soups simmer on the stove, how better to pass the time than with this free pumpkin amigurumi pattern!

Terminology:

This free crochet pumpkin pattern uses English (US) terminology:

  • st (sts) = stitch (stitches)
  • ch = chain stitch
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • sc2tog = single crochet 2 together (over the span of 2 stitches), also known as a decrease
  • hdc = half double crochet
  • dc = double crochet
  • sk = skip
  • BLO = back loop only

Please note that this pattern is written so that each crochet stitch abbreviation is attached to a number, such as 1sc, 2sc, etc. This number denotes how many of that stitch is to be worked into the same stitch.

In other words, 1sc = one single crochet, whereas 2sc = two single crochet worked into one stitch, also known as an increase.
