Rustic Pumpkins – Free Crochet Pattern

Anyone who knows me personally (or even if you have followed me on social media long enough) knows how much I LOVE Summer! So, I’m kinda sad in a way to see it go, BUT if it has to go away, at least I can make some cute, rustic pumpkins!

I absolutely LOVE using the Bobble stitch to give these pumpkins a little more rustic, farm decor feel. They would even be cute using small twigs and the leather tags instead of crocheting the top leaf and stem. I think that would give them the perfect farmhouse, rustic vibe.

Yarn I used –

I used I Love this Yarn from Hobby Lobby. I love using this yarn for amigurumi projects and well, basically for anything! It’s a super soft worsted weight yarn that is SUPER soft and not scratchy at all! It’s my go to for #4 yarn hands down!

The lighter Pumpkin is made in the color Glazed Desert, the darker one in Burnt Pumpkin, and the mustard one in Sungold. All the colors being the I Love This Yarn Brand. The Leaf color is Light Sage and the Stem is Brown

I think that even some dark teal and deep red pumpkins would be pretty! There are so many options that the possibilities are absolutely endless!

My Helper –

When I was trying to photograph this pattern I had a little bit of help…. or should I say a lot of help. George thought that I needed some help in arranging my rustic pumpkins. He was literally batting them like balls and knocking them off the steps.

I finally decided to give up and just included him in the photos. If you follow me on Instagram, you can see more behind the scenes of this photo shoot.

This little stinker is a complete Baby, LOL. He has to be the center of attention and get all the love he wants. That usually means being in the middle of anything that I’m doing outside. He’s primarily an outdoor cat, but sneaks through the open door as often as he can……which is like every single day.

But, everyone loves a cute cat, right?!

You will now fold the piece in half and stitch the 2 ends together so it will become a tube like shape.

Take the tail on 1 end and weave it around the end of the pumpkin, pull the tail to close the hole

Stuff with poly-fil and close the top end.

Now, take a long tail and go through the very middle of the pumpkin and go all the way through to the other end. Gently pull the yarn and go back through the pumpkin, making sure the yarn go in between the bobble rows
