Here is a simple step-by-step tutorial to make the cute crochet pumpkins shown in the picture (both big and small). This is an amigurumi-style plush pumpkin with feet, stem, and leaf. I’ll keep it beginner-friendly.
🍂 SUPER DETAILED CROCHET PUMPKIN AMIGURUMI PATTERN
(Plush + mini version)
🧶 MATERIALS
For Big Pumpkin
- Velvet/plush yarn (orange, brown, green)
- Hook size: 6–7 mm
- Safety eyes: 10–12 mm
- Fiberfill stuffing
- Yarn needle
For Small Pumpkin
- Acrylic yarn (size 4) or cotton
- Hook size: 3–4 mm
- Safety eyes: 6 mm
🎃 SECTION 1 — LARGE PUMPKIN BODY (SUPER DETAILED)
Body (in the round)
R1: MR, 6 sc (6)
R2: inc × 6 (12)
R3: (1 sc, inc) × 6 (18)
R4: (2 sc, inc) × 6 (24)
R5: (3 sc, inc) × 6 (30)
R6: (4 sc, inc) × 6 (36)
R7–14: sc around (36)
➡ This creates a fat, round pumpkin shape.
TIP: For chubbier pumpkins, add 2–3 more rounds of 36 sc.
Decrease rounds
R15: (4 sc, dec) × 6 (30)
R16: (3 sc, dec) × 6 (24)
R17: (2 sc, dec) × 6 (18)
Insert safety eyes between Rows 8–9, 8 stitches apart.
Add blush (felt circles or yarn).
Start stuffing firmly.
R18: (1 sc, dec) × 6 (12)
R19: dec × 6 (6)
Fasten off and close hole.
🎃 Pumpkin Ribbing (the most important step!)
This is how you get the cute pumpkin lines.
- Thread a long piece of orange yarn.
- Insert needle from bottom → top.
- Wrap the yarn around the outside of the pumpkin.
- Pull TIGHT to form a ridge.
- Repeat 6–8 times around the pumpkin.
This is what gives the pumpkin its realistic shape.
🌱 SECTION 2 — BIG STEM + LEAF
Stem
Using brown plush yarn:
R1: MR, 5 sc (5)
R2–4: sc around (5)
Fasten off, sew to top.
Leaf
Using green yarn:
Ch 5
In 2nd ch from hook:
- sl st
- sc
- hdc
- dc
- hdc
- sc
- sl st at end
The leaf will naturally curl — perfect for pumpkins!
Sew next to the stem.
🦶 SECTION 3 — BIG FEET (make 2)
R1: MR, 6 sc (6)
R2: (1 sc, inc) × 3 (9)
R3–4: sc around (9)
Stuff lightly.
Fasten off, sew to bottom of pumpkin.
Position the feet wide apart so the pumpkin looks cute and sits stably.
