A quick and easy crochet mini pumpkin pattern.
A few years ago I came across a crochet pumpkin pattern that I made for family and friends. Over the last few years those friends have asked me to make more, but I couldn’t seem to find the pattern. I decided I would just go for it and start crocheting a few small pumpkins, creating my own pattern.
I had also just came up with a new ribbing stitch I thought would be fun to use for the pumpkin and I absolutely love how they turned out. Here is the new stitch I used to create the ribbing effect, The Corkscrew Stitch.
You can quickly make this pumpkin and many more to decorate your home or make handmade sweet little pumpkin gifts for fall. The second option is usually my favorite. Fall feels like the perfect time to spoil a friend.
This pattern is super simple. You basically make a rectangle flat panel. Crochet along one side, seam up the two ends and crochet along the other side. After that you close up one side, stuff and close up the other side. All that’s left is creating the sections of the pumpkin.
I personally love how cute these pumpkins turned out with dried tree branches as the stem. You could also use cinnamon sticks, a thick piece of twine or crochet a cord.
