ABOUT THE PATTERN

The pattern uses turning rows to create the body, with puff stitch for the hands and feet. This is then crocheted together to form the desired shape. A small amount of embroidery is needed for the face, and the only sewing required is to attach the stalk. I’ve provided options for either safety eyes or embroidered eyes. Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm hook, Eggy Pumpkin reaches a height of approximately 6.5cm.

SKILL LEVEL

I have assigned a beginner skill level to this pattern. While the majority of it involves simple stitches, crocheting the stalk can be a little fiddly. There is also a little embroidery required for the face. You must be familiar with reading patterns and understanding the abbreviations and terminology.

MATERIALS NEEDED

Chosen yarn in desired colours. The following yarns in DK weight have been used in the pattern:
Orange for body
Green for the stalk
Small amount of black embroidery thread or yarn for embroidering mouth and nose (and eyes if opting for embroidered eyes) - I used 3-6 strands of embroidery thread
8-10mm safety eyes if not opting for embroidered eyes
Toy stuffing
2.5mm crochet hook
Scissors
Pins
Stitch markers
Tapestry needle
Optional keychain

Feel free to explore variations by swapping out yarn and hook sizes to achieve a different outcome, and get creative with experimenting with various colours.
