Materials Needed
DK or 4ply yarn (acrylic or cotton) in orange and green or if you’d like a colorful pumpkin, use some variegated yarn. For this project, I used Loops & Thread, 100% Cotton in Vintage Floral Ombre. You can find this yarn at Walmart or Michael’s.
Crochet hook that fits your yarn. For this project I used a 4 mm hook.
A tapestry needle
A pair of scissors
A stitch marker or contrasting piece of yarn.
Some fiberfill stuffing.

Abbreviations
ch = chain
hdc = half double crochet
hdcblo = half double crochet back loop only
st = stitch
sts = stitches
fo = fasten off

Skill Level
Beginner

Gauge
Gauge = 16 dc and 6 rows with a 4 mm crochet hook = 4″ (10 cm).

Gauge is not really that crucial for this project. Just try experimenting with different hook sizes & different weight yarns to get a gauge you are happy with for the project you are working on.

Size
This Pumpkin measures about 9 inches (23 cm) in circumference.

Yardage
Approx. 40 meters (43.7 yards)

Notes
– You can make the pattern larger or smaller by changing the type of yarn and/or hook size.

– Numbers at the end of each row (in brackets) indicate the number of final stitches in that row.

– Please note that I use US crochet terms.
