- Stitch marker
- Scissors
- Stuffing
Abbreviations:
- ch: Chain
- sc: Single Crochet
- inc: Increase (2 sc in one stitch)
- dec: Decrease (sc across two stitches together)
Pumpkin Stem:
- Start with a magic ring or ch 4 and join to form a ring.
- Ch 1 (does not count as st), 6 sc in ring, pull ring tight.
Work in continuous rounds, placing a stitch marker in the first sc of each round:
- Rounds 1-3: Sc around (6 sts).
- Round 4: Inc repeat around (12 sts).
Switch to beige or brown yarn for the stem top.
Pumpkin Body:
- Attach orange or copper yarn with a slip stitch.
- Round 1: Sc 1, inc repeat around (18 sts).
- Round 2: Sc 2, inc repeat around (24 sts).
- Round 3: Sc 3, inc repeat around (30 sts).
- Round 4: Sc 4, inc repeat around (36 sts).
- Rounds 5-12 (or more for added height): Sc around (36 sts).
Pumpkin Vine:
- With green yarn, ch 10.
- Starting from second chain from hook, 3 sc in each chain to the end to form a curl.
Assembly:
Begin decreases for the bottom of the pumpkin:
- Round 1: Sc 4, dec repeat around (30 sts).
- Round 2: Sc 3, dec repeat around (24 sts).
- Round 3: Sc 2, dec repeat around (18 sts).
- Round 4: Sc 1, dec repeat around (12 sts).

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Close the hole by threading through the front loops of the remaining stitches, pulling tightly and knotting securely.
Attach the vine by sewing it at the top around the stem.
Ribs Creation:
- Using the long end of orange or copper yarn, sew through from top to bottom, pulling tight to create ribs or indentations in the pumpkin.
- Distribute ribs evenly, adjust yarn tension to create as deep or subtle ribs as desired.
Finishing Touches:
- Weave in all ends.
- Adjust stuffing as necessary to achieve desired shape.
Note: The pattern can be adjusted in size by using thicker or thinner yarn and corresponding hook sizes. The number of rounds during increases and the body can also be adjusted to change the pumpkin's proportions.
