Halloween Pumpkin Free Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

WHAT YOU WILL CROCHET

A cute, easy to make Halloween Pumpkin.

FINISHED SIZE

One size – I used 3 different types of yarn to make my pumpkins, so the size of your finished pumpkin will vary depending on the yarn you use.

CROCHET SKILL

Easy – basic crochet stitches are used in this design.  The pattern has helpful hints along the way.

HELPFUL TIPS & PATTERN NOTES

• My pattern uses US terminology.
• Always read through the pattern before you start to familiarise yourself with it.
• Colours are for reference only and will vary depending on the light settings of your monitor/devices.
• The pattern was designed in cotton but can be made in any yarn. Just remember to use the correct hook size for the yarn you have chosen.
• If you are working in thicker or thinner yarn your finished project size may vary.
• Tension and hook size could also influence the overall size.
• Secure starting ends as you go along.
• Stitch counts are at the end of each round/row, and in parentheses.
• When joining new yarn (other than for a colour change), use a slip stitch.
• And lastly, COUNT your stitches and have loads of FUN.

Needle join	nj	When you have finished your last stitch, do not join, instead cut the yarn, and pull it through the last stitch.  Using a needle, insert into both loops of the second stitch of the same round/row.  If you have started with a standing stitch, you can insert into the top of the standing stitch.  Go back into the back loop only of the last stitch of the round/row, and gently tighten the join, and it will form a “loop” on top of the stitch and look just like a regular stitch.  Link to how I make a needle join

PUMPKIN

Make as many as you like. Using colour (ORANGE), make a magic circle.

Helpful hint: if you are working in Velvet/Plush yarn you can replace the magic circle by chaining 3, slip stitch into 1^st chain, then continue Round 1.

Helpful hint: we are working in the round.

Round 1 – top of pumpkin

Ch 1 (does not count as a st), sc 6 into mc, place st marker in 6^th sc and continue to work in the round (6 sc).
Helpful hint: move the stitch marker and place in the last stitch of each round; this will help keep your stitch count correct and help with round counting. Because we are working quite tightly in the round, I weave my beginning tail in whilst working round 2.

Round 2

*Sc 2 into next st*, rep *.* 5 more times (12 sc).

Helpful hint: with my patterns, I usually always start with an increase in the 1^st stitch, so if your increase stitch falls in the 1^st stitch of the increase stitch from the last round, your stitch count should be correct.

Round 3

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next st* rep *.* 5 more times (18 sc).

Round 4

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 2 sts* rep *.* 5 more times (24 sc).

Round 5

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 3 sts* rep *.* 5 more times (30 sc).

Round 6

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 4 sts* rep *.* 5 more times (36 sc).

Round 7

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 5 sts* rep *.* 5 more times (42 sc).

Round 8

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 6 sts* rep *.* 5 more times (48 sc).

Helpful hint: if you want to make a bigger pumpkin you can continue increasing until you have the size you want.  Just remember that you will then need to decrease until you 12 stitches.

Rounds 9 – 11

Helpful hint: you can add more rounds if you would like a thicker pumpkin.

Sc into next 48 sts (48 sc).

Round 12

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 6 sts* rep *.* 5 more times (42 sc).

Round 13

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 5 sts* rep *.* 5 more times (36 sc).

Round 14

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 4 sts* rep *.* 5 more times (30 sc).

Round 15

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 3 sts* rep *.* 5 more times (24 sc).

Round 16

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 2 sts* rep *.* 5 more times (18 sc).

Helpful hint: you can firmly stuff the pumpkin – be careful to not overstuff.

Round 17

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next st* rep *.* 5 more times (12 sc).

Round 18

*Inv sc2tog*rep *.* 5 more times (6 sc), cut yarn leaving a 70 cm tail.  Use a sewing needle to sew through the FLO of each st, pull tight and leave remaining tail.

Helpful hint: we will use the remaining tail to shape the pumpkin later in the pattern.

STALK

Make one for each pumpkin. I made one.  Using colour (BROWN), make a magic circle.

Helpful hint: if you are working in Velvet/Plush yarn you can replace the magic circle by chaining 3, slip stitch into 1^st chain, then continue Round 1.

Helpful hint: we are working in the round.

Round 1

Ch 1 (does not count as a st), sc 4 into mc, place st marker in 4^th sc and continue to work in the round (4 sc).

Round 2

*Sc 2 into next st* rep *.* 3 more times (8 sc).
Round 3 – BLO

Sc into BLO of next 8 sts (8 BLO sc).

Rounds 4 – 6

Sc into next 8 sts (8 sc).  At the end of round 6 cut yarn leaving a 20 cm tail.  Use  sewing needle sew through the FLO of each st, pull tight and leave remaining tail.

Helpful hint: we will use the remaining tail to  attach the stalk to the pumpkin later in the pattern.

VINE

Make one or two for each pumpkin.  I made one. Using colour (GREEN), chain 16.

Row 1

Sc 3 into 2^nd ch from hook, sc 3 into 14 chs (45 sc), cut yarn leaving a 20 cm tail.

Helpful hint: we will use the tail to attach the vine to the pumpkin later in the pattern.

FINISHING THE PUMPKIN

Using the tail end from the pumpkin stitch around the pumpkin in 6 sections, going through the middle of the pumpkin each time and pull tight to make the segments of a pumpkin, sew the stalk to the centre of the pumpkin.  Repeat with the vine.  Weave in ends.

TAH DAH – YOUR PUMPKIN IS DONE
