Amigurumi Pumpkin Pattern

Materials:

 

Orange yarn (for the pumpkin body)

 

Green yarn (for the stem)

 

Crochet hook (size suitable for your yarn)

 

Fiberfill stuffing

 

Yarn needle

 

Scissors

 

 

Instructions:

 

1. Start the Body:

 

Magic ring: Begin with a magic ring and work 6 single crochets (SC) into it.

 

Increase Rounds:

 

Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch (12 stitches total).

 

Round 3: 1 SC, 2 SC in next stitch, repeat around (18 stitches).

 

Round 4: 2 SC, 2 SC in next stitch, repeat around (24 stitches).

 

Continue increasing rounds until your pumpkin reaches the desired size, increasing the number of single crochets between each increase.

 

 

 

 

2. Shape the Pumpkin:

 

Once you reach your desired size, work a few rounds without increases to form the pumpkin’s height.

 

Start decreasing:

 

Decrease by 2 SC, SC2tog (decrease over two stitches), repeat around until you’re left with a small opening.

 

 

Stuff the pumpkin with fiberfill before closing.

 

 

 

3. Add the Stem:

 

Using green yarn, create a small chain for the stem.

 

Work single crochets around the chain to form a thick stem and sew it onto the top of the pumpkin.

 

 

 

4. Finish and Shape:

 

Use a long strand of yarn to pass through the top and bottom of the pumpkin to create the pumpkin’s characteristic segments.

 

Tighten the yarn to create a realistic pumpkin shape.
