Learn how to crochet a checkered fall pumpkin amigurumi from a flat crochet rectangle with an orange, yellow, and white checkerboard following this tutorial. This crochet pumpkin also has a beautiful small two curly vines and a brown stuffed stem that makes it a must-have fall amigurumi to sell or give as a gift.

The receiver can decorate for the Thanksgiving or use this crochet pumpkin as a pincushion, too. You will love the crochet checkered pattern and it is surprisingly easy. All you have to do is to crochet a granny stitch stitch row and fill the chain spaces by working in the chain space stitches of the previous row. So, let’s crochet it with the FREE tutorial in the end.

Quick Guides for Stitches

Here are the quick guides for the stitches, using your abbreviations:

• Ch (Chain): Make a slip knot on your hook. Yarn over and pull the yarn through the loop on your hook.

• Slst (Slip a stitch): Insert your hook into the stitch. Yarn over and pull the yarn through the stitch and through the loop on your hook at the same time.

• Sc (Single Crochet): Insert your hook into the stitch. Yarn over and pull up a loop (two loops on hook). Yarn over and pull through both loops.

• Dc (Double Crochet): Yarn over. Insert your hook into the stitch. Yarn over and pull up a loop (three loops on hook). Yarn over and pull through the first two loops. Yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops.

Check Pattern Guide: 

Since it is a classical check pattern, I am providing a pattern below:

• Chain 60.
• Skip 3, 3dc, ch 3, skip 3, 3dc repeat this for all 60 chains. 1 dc in the last stitch.
• You will have 9 sets of double crochet clusters.
• Turn your work. Change to yellow.
• Ch 3, 3dc in in the skipped chains of each grid.
