Create a cosy, handmade pumpkin—perfect for fall décor or as a thoughtful gift!

  • Working single crochet (sc) stitches in rows or rounds
  • Seaming edges and cinching to form the pumpkin shape
  • Adding a stem and optional decorative touches

Materials Needed

  • 5mm or 6mm crochet hook
  • Chunky (bulky weight) yarn in your favorite autumn shade

Basic Skills Required

By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with a squishy, handmade pumpkin and the confidence to make a whole patch of them for seasonal decorating.
