Crochet Funny Pumpkin Amigurumi Pattern for All Skill Levels

This is a fun, beginner-friendly amigurumi crochet tutorial for making a festive pumpkin. You start by crocheting the main pumpkin body with orange yarn, increasing stitches to create a round shape and decreasing to close it, then stuffing it before adding tightening lines to form the signature pumpkin segments.

Next, you crochet a simple brown stem and a wavy green leaf with curling vines, attaching them to the top of the pumpkin.

Finally, the tutorial offers an optional, playful Halloween twist: giving the pumpkin an expressive face using glass cabochon eyes, a tiny felt tongue, black embroidery thread for the mouth and eyebrows, and even adding a cute, tiny black spider on its side!

    • R22: 6 dec (6)

    • Fasten off, leaving a very long tail.

    • Sculpting: Using a long needle, thread the long tail through the center bottom of the pumpkin to the center top, pulling the yarn tightly along the outside to create a segment. Repeat this process around the pumpkin to create 6 even segments. Secure the yarn.

Stem (Brown Yarn)

• • • R1: 6 sc in MR (6)

    • R2: 6 sc in BLO (6)

    • R3 – R7: 6 sc (6) (5 rounds total)

    • R8: 6 inc (12)

    • Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing. Sew to the top center of the pumpkin.

Leaf and Vines (Green Yarn)

• • • Foundation: Chain 12.

    • R1: Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, crochet sc along the chain. In the last chain (the very first one made), crochet 4 sc to turn the corner. Continue sc along the opposite side of the chain, stopping 2 stitches before the end.

    • R2: Ch 1, turn. Sc along the edge. When you reach the 2 center stitches at the tip, put 1 inc in each of the two center stitches. Continue sc down the other side, stopping 2 stitches before the end.

    • R3+: Repeat the process of R2 (ch 1, turn, sc, do two increases at the tip, leave the last 2 stitches unworked) until the leaf reaches your desired size.

    • Vines: Without cutting the yarn, sl st your way down to the center base of the leaf. Chain 30 to 40 stitches (depending on how long you want the vine). Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, crochet 2 sc in each chain all the way back to the base (this forces the vine to curl). You can make multiple curling vines of different lengths.

    • Fasten off, leave a long tail, and sew the leaf/vines next to the stem on the pumpkin.

Spider (Optional, Black Yarn)

• • • R1: 6 sc in MR (6). Pull tight and fasten off, leaving a tail.

    • Sew the small black circle to the side of the pumpkin.

    • Using black thread, sew 4 straight lines on each side of the circle to create legs.

    • Attach two tiny beads for eyes.

Face Assembly (Optional)

• • • Glue on two mismatched glass eyes to give the pumpkin a crazy, fun look.

    • Use black thread to embroider eyebrows (at different angles/heights) and a simple line for the mouth.

    • Cut a tiny half-circle of pink/red felt and glue it below the mouth line to make a tongue.
