Amigurumi Crochet Pumpkins - Free Patterns and Videos

Autumn Decor Project - Crochet Pumpkins

Autumn crochet means pumpkins! The falls season matches so well with handmade pumpkins – as pumpkins are the symbols of the fall season – crochet them in many colors and in many sizes. It´s like an addiction. That feeling when you just need to crochet some pumpkins. We all, crocheters (correct me if I´m wrong) do have yarns with what we don´t know what to do. Every year I crochet some pumpkins. I found a ball of burnt orange and here I go again.

I offer two free patterns as well. I yarn – wrap to give a shape to pumpkins

These amigurumi pumpkins are made using super-basic crochet stitches: single crochet stitch, increasing and decreasing so that they are a simple beginner crochet project and that can be worked up quickly.

Crocheting a Pumpkin (part 2)

My pumpkin patch this year. Every year I give some as gifts and then I crochet some more. So if you are looking for a quick crochet project then this is something for you - Fun to crochet!

These crochet Amigurumi pumpkins also make cute gifts for any fall parties, fall fairs.

Get creative with your crochet pumpkins—you can even use so many different shades.

Some crochet pumpkins are crocheted the "wrong side" out. A bit different techniques. A bit fiddly at the end, but gorgeous result. So it´s a very versatile pattern.













Handmade pumpkins will bring a sense of fun and whimsy to the kitchen table as well.







Enjoy crocheting pumpkins!

Cute Crochet Amigurumi Halloween and a Free Last Minute Crochet Pumpkin Pattern

Halloween is getting closer. I like all cute and kawaii. It also includes Halloween. 

My Halloween set - up for this year on photos. 

It´s a season worth celebrating with handmade stuff, for example you could make a lovely bunch of little amigurumi crochet pumpkins and set up a scene with all those lovely colors. I also place real pumpkins, of course, there´s all shapes and sizes and what colors, OMG! (carved pumpkins to come) and my dear fuchsia is also taking part in this scene (in it´s autumn colors). We had the first snow as well in Estonia. 

Click on the pics to see large photos!

                                                             

This is the smallest pumpkin I´ve even made. I made it look like a real pumpkin with just a small touch of artist´s acrylic paint.

If you have an hour or so to spare and you´d like to make a quick DIY Pumpkin, I´ll give you a pattern for an Amigurumi Crochet Pumpkin – Works up really quickly and is fun to make.

You´ll need 2mm or 2,5mm crochet hook

DK or Fingering weight yarn (all shades of orange, even with a touch of brown and yellow). Some yarn for a stalk, something greyish.

Tapestry needle and here we go:

1) 6 sts. into magic ring (6)

2) 6 x Inc (12)

3) [Inc + 1 sc] all around (18)

4) [Inc + 2 sc] all around (24)

5) [Inc + 3 sc] all around (30)

6) [Inc + 4 sc] all around (36)

7-11) sc all around (36)

12) [Invdec + 4 sc] all around (30)

13) [Invdec + 3 sc] all around (24)

14) [Invdec + 2 sc] all around (18)

Do the medium stuffing

15) [Invdec + 1 sc] all around (12)

16) Invdec all around (6)

sc- single crochet

Inc- 2 single crochet into one

Invdec - invisible decreasing - 2 single crochet together. 

Make a „neat finish“ Have a look how to do it in here: finishing up an amigurumi piece, leave at least 30 cm of yarn to continue:
Video tutorial can be found here: crochet pumpkin - giving shape

And you see me crocheting a pumpkin in two short videos:

Tiny amigurumi pumpkin, part 1

Tiny amigurumi pumpkin, part 2

Sew through the middle of the ball 

 and go around to the bottom again, 

and right through the ball again. Tighten it a bit. 

Go all the way round for a total of 4 times. Make a knot, hide the yarn

Start making the stalk

You can leave a st. undone here and there

Hide the yarn like this and...you´ll have a lovely curved stalk

If you want a lovely Kawaii Crochet Pumpkin, then follow the pattern, but place eyes instead and there´s no need to tighten the pumpkin with the yarn. And that´s it. Add some pink cheeks and little mouse to make it look like a kawaii:)

Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Crocheting!
