Grown into this free crochet squash pattern are all the homey happenings of harvest time gatherings—the busy chatter of too many hands in the kitchen, the rhythmic chopping of fresh vegetables being prepared for a stew, and the thick incense of spices wafting through the air as you warm your fingers over the oven’s cracked door.

While the hearty harvest soups simmer on the stove, how better to pass the time than with this free squash amigurumi pattern!

Terminology:

This free crochet squash pattern uses English / US terminology:

  • st (sts) = stitch (stitches)
  • ch = chain stitch
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • sc2tog = single crochet 2 together (over the span of 2 stitches), also known as a decrease
  • BLO = back loop only

Please note that this pattern is written so that each crochet stitch abbreviation is attached to a number, such as 1sc, 2sc, etc. This number denotes how many of that stitch is to be worked into the same stitch.

In other words, 1sc = one single crochet, whereas 2sc = two single crochet worked into one stitch, also known as an increase.
