Quick Summary
This quick and easy beginner-friendly crochet project shows you how to make an adorable, rustic little pumpkin! You’ll start by crocheting a flat rectangular piece for the main body of the pumpkin, fold it in half, and sew its sides together to make a tube. After cinching the bottom closed, you’ll stuff it with soft filling and cinch the top.
To give it that classic pumpkin look, you wrap yarn tightly around the outside from top to bottom to create cute, deep ridges. Finally, you’ll crochet a tiny stem, a realistic leafy green top, and a curly vine to attach to your pumpkin for the perfect autumn or Halloween decoration.
