What You’ll Need

Abbreviations: Pattern is in US Crochet Termsch: chain stitch

st: stitch

(*): when you see instructions written between parenthesis you will work these instructions as many times as the pattern tells you to.

inc: single crochet increase

dec: single crochet decrease

BLO: back loops only

FLO: front loops only

FO: fasten off

Designer Note:When I crochet amigurumi I let the wrong side face outwards. All the photos you will see in this tutorial are worked this way and it is my personal preference when it comes to making amigurumi. If you choose to crochet with the traditional right side facing outwards there will be no significant difference regarding how the finished piece will turn out so feel free to crochet this amigurumi however you like.

Be aware that when you work with the wrong side out the front and back loops of a stitch will be reversed. When you see instructions written as “ FLO (BLO)” in this pattern you will work what is before the () if you are crocheting with the right side out, and you will work what is in the () if you are working with the wrong side facing out.

Finishing the Pumpkin:To finish the pumpkin take your yarn end and go around the outside of the pumpkin and weave it back through the center. Give the yarn a nice tug to create an indented section to your pumpkin. Repeat 5 more times for a total of 6 sections. For each section you can thread the yarn back through multiple times for a more obvious segmented look.

Different Sizes: To get different sized pumpkins besides the ones mentioned on this page you can try experimenting with larger or smaller sized crochet hooks. Increasing the amount of single crochet rounds you work before decreasing will give you a taller pumpkin.
