Easy Textured Pumpkin Free Crochet Pattern in 2 Sizes

For all my Fall lovers, you will love these adorable pumpkins!  I made this pattern with 2 different sizes so you can have small pumpkins and larger pumpkins.  Scroll on down for the free pumpkin crochet pattern!

Everyone needs some cute crochet pumpkins for fall decor and this is the perfect free pumpkin pattern!  This is an easy crochet pumpkin pattern as it uses basic stitches for the stitch pattern used for these handmade pumpkins.

I would love to see these pumpkins made in all the different fall colors or even some white pumpkins would be cute!

The body of the pumpkins are simply made from a rectangle and should I mention that it is just made with a stitch that is a one row repeat?!  Talk about a super easy pattern!

I used a fun stitch called the “Grit Stitch” for these pumpkins.  This stitch is made with basic crochet stitches like the single crochet stitch and the double crochet stitch, so it’s a super easy stitch to do.

Best Yarn For Crochet Pumpkins

While you can use many different yarns for making pumpkins, one of the best yarns that you will probably find to make them with is just a basic, worsted weight yarn.  Any worsted weight yarn will work with this pattern, but I chose to use Vanna’s Choice yarn.

Although you could easily switch out this yarn for a chunky yarn or bulky weight yarn with a corresponding hook and make even larger pumpkins.

Free Pattern –

With rust yarn

chain 15 for small pumpkin

chain 25 for large pumpkin

Row 1: dc in the 3rd chain stitch from hook (2 skipped chain st counts as a sc), *skip next ch, work 1 sc and 1 dc in the next st*, repeat * to * across to last 2 ch. Skip the next ch, sc in the last chain

Row 2: ch 1 (counts as a sc), t, 1 dc in 1st st, *skip next stitch, work 1 sc and 1 dc in the next st*, repeat * to * across to last 2 st, skip next st, sc in the last stitch (which will be your turning chain from the previous row)

Row 3 – 24 for the small (36 rows for the large): repeat row 2

Your piece for the small should measure approx. 4.25’’ x 9.25’’

large should be approx. 7.25’’ x 13’’

Fold piece in half, ch 1 and slip stitch the 2 edges together

You can now cut your yarn leaving a long tail.  Go ahead and flip the piece inside out to hide the seam on the inside.

With your yarn needle weave in and out around the bottom and pull to close the the pumpkin.  knot and tie off yarn.

Repeat on the other end to close the top side, but before closing it completely, stuff with poly-fil

Now, take a long tail and go through the very middle of the pumpkin and go all the way through from the top of your pumpkin to the bottom of your pumpkin. Gently pull yarn and go back through the pumpkin, I went through mine 6 times to create the ridges on the pumpkin.  After this your pumpkin will finally have it’s pumpkin shape.

Knot your yarn and weave in ends.
