If you have never checked out crochet pumpkin patterns before then you might be wondering how to crochet a pumpkin. I’ll let you in on a little secret: many patterns for crochet pumpkins start out as a flat rectangle using basic stitches, so they are surprisingly easy to make. These humble origins also make it easy to customize your pumpkin creations with different stitch patterns and sizes. Even beginner crocheters can get in on the pumpkin fun with these 25 exciting designs.
The other question that might come to mind is what should you use for a pumpkin stem. Rest assured, you will get plenty of inspiration for that in this post of crochet pumpkin patterns but we can start the brainstorming session right now. A lot of designers opt for a crocheted stem but you’ll also find a few designs that use something else – like a cinnamon stick, a wine cork, or a faux leather tag.
Ok, are you suitably pumped up to see these crochet pumpkin patterns now? Just think, soon you’ll be stitching up some pumpkin charm and adding a dash of Autumnal magic into your everyday life. Scroll down and prepare to be inspired with these free pumpkin crochet patterns!
