Since Halloween is just around the corner, I don’t really want to share crochet toys that are very difficult to make. Many of our friends make these toys in limited time and as a hobby, and it’s really hard to deal with big toys. That’s why I prefer toys that are easy to make, simple and flashy. Now I’m back with another pumpkin crochet pattern.
Amigurumi Orange Pumpkin Pattern
You can make the toy, which has a very ordinary design, in any size you want. What you’ll need to do for this is to determine the thickness of the yarn you prefer. You need to use a 3.75mm crochet hook when making the toy using yarn in 2 different colors.

Stem:
In a magic ring, SC 8. Join with SL ST, CH 1 (8)
Round 1: 2 SC in each ST. Join with SL ST. (16)
Do not finish off. CH 8, SL ST in the 2nd CH from the hook and in the next 3 CH. Finish off, cut yarn leaving a long tail.
Pull the stem through the center of the circle. (See pictures on page 4.)
Seaming:
Fold your rectangle to line up the two shorter edges and SL ST them together. Fasten off leaving a long tail.
Turn your piece right side out, so the slip stitched seam is on the inside.
Using the tapestry needle, seam the open part by weaving your needle in and out along the SC stitches.
Gather tightly, fasten off, cut yarn.
Stuff the pumpkin (do not overstuff).
Gather the top with the thread the same way as the bottom.
Pull the yarn tight. With the needle go back and forth from top to bottom a few times, so you get the desired pumpkin shape. Weave on the stem and enjoy your cute little pumpkin!
