Chunky Crochet and Knit Pumpkins - Free Patterns

GET THE FREE PDF PATTERN DOWNLOAD FOR THESE CHUNKY KNIT AND CROCHET PUMPKINS BELOW.

These chunky knit and crochet pumpkins are so squishy and adorable! Topped with a delicious smelling cinnamon stick, they are the perfect fall decor for your home! 

Because I used a super bulky yarn, they were so quick to make! To be honest, I usually have a hard time finding unique patterns using super bulky yarn so I thought I would make these pumpkins to use up some super bulky yarn I had. 

The pumpkin that is a grayish blue color is knit and the oatmeal tweed pumpkin is crochet. The knit pumpkin is just a simple knit stitch in the round. I learned how to knit last year and although I love it, I don't knit as much as I'd like to so I thought it would be fun to make two different versions of pumpkins. Win win for the knitter, crocheter, and the bistitchual!

The crochet version uses the knit stitch (also called the waist coat stitch). I love the way the knit stitch looks, but to be perfectly honest I do find knitting it more enjoyable!

The knit stitch/waist coat stitch can become rather tight. If you're a tight crocheter, I suggest trying your best to crochet as loosely as possible. You'll find a quick video on how to make the knit stitch below.

These pumpkins are already set as a centerpiece in my house and I love it! My puppy even loves it so much, he managed to eat part of the cinnamon stick stem. I should have known - he was eyeing them up when I was setting them out to take photos!

I hope you enjoy making these pumpkins as much as I did! Please share with me over on Facebook
and Instagram!

Materials
Lion Brand Hometown USA (super bulky yarn)
P/11.50mm hook (for crochet)
9.0mm 16” circular needles (for knit)
Poly-fil Stuffing
Cinnamon Sticks and twine for stem
Tapestry and Scissors

Pattern notes
The pumpkin will be made by working in the round then sewn and cinched up at the top and bottom to create the sphere. We will additionally add grooves to the side with yarn and needle.

Adjusting Pumpkin size: If you would like to make multiple pumpkins in different sizes, simply add or subtract the number of beginning stitches/cast on stitches as well as the number of rows. I suggest adding/subtracting in multiples of 10 for the beginning stitches and adding/subtracting in multiples of 2-3 for the number of rows.

Beginning Chain 2 does not count as a stitch. (crochet)

Special stitches: knit stitch/waistcoat stitch (crochet)

You may need to use the magic loop method as the stitches will be quite stretched around the circular needles. (knit)

Ch = chain, sc = single crochet, st = stitch(es), k1 = knit one

I'm a big fan of the fall season, so I'm really excited to share these crochet pumpkins with you!

I was at Hobby Lobby the other week and I saw the cutest little cakes of yarn called "Lil Dollop" by Yarn Bee.  They came in adorable colors and I knew instantly they would be perfect for pumpkins!

They aren't the traditional pumpkin colors, but I think that's what makes it so fun! I made them in three different sizes so they could be arranged together.

The 'largest' pumpkin uses almost the entire skein, so it's the perfect project for these little skeins! The others are a tad smaller and will not use the entire skein but will use most of it.

These crochet pumpkins are quick to make and has a subtle texture that makes these pumpkins so adorable! Paired with the color changing yarn, they are extra cute!

If you would like traditional colored pumpkins or if you want your pumpkin a solid color, feel free to use any worsted weight yarn you would like! You can also use bulkier sized yarns (adjust hook size as needed) to make larger pumpkins. Play around with the sizes and have fun!

Fabric pumpkins seem to be really in at the moment and I love it! Place these on your mantle, as a center piece, side tables, or coffee table for a touch of fall in your home!

I think they even look really cute stacked up on top of each other! You can either secure them stacked up with a bit of hot glue or if you'd like the option of keeping them together or separate, attach them with a bit of yarn to stay together. When you want to free them for a different look, just snip the yarn!

Scissors

Pattern notes
The pumpkin will be made by working in the round then sewn and cinched up at the top and bottom to create the sphere. We will additionally add grooves to the side with yarn and needle.

Beginning Chain 2 does not count as a stitch.

We will be working in the round as well as turning our work after each round. Note that when we turn our work, the first stitch we will be working into is as shown in photo. We will always work into that single crochet from the previous row. (This DOES NOT apply to the first round 2 as we have no turned yet, in that case we will work into that very first stitch).

Abbreviations (US terms):

Ch = chain, sc = single crochet, dc = double crochet, st = stitch(es)

Stem - use dark brown yarn
Round 1: Magic ring, ch 1, 4sc in ring, join to first sc
Round 2: Ch 1, 2sc in each st around, join to first sc
Round 3-5: Ch 1, sc around, join to first sc. Fasten off and sew onto top of pumpkin.

Assembly Instructions

1. This is what your work will look like after fastening off.

2. Use a separate piece of yarn to sew the bottom up. Weave in and out of the bottom stitches all the way around.

3. Pull tight and tie yarn ends together. Hide them on the inside of the pumpkin.

4. Stuff with poly-fil.

5. Use the long tail to weave in and out of the top stitches of the pumpkin.

6. Pull tight to cinch together and add more poly-fil as needed. Don’t worry if there is a small hole you can’t close, this will be covered by the stem.

Knot the yarn, do not cut off.

7. Take the yarn tail and insert into the bottom of the pumpkin with needle. We will now be making the grooves around the pumpkin.

8. Pull the needle up through the center to the top of the pumpkin. Pull tight (enough to make an indentation to form the grooves). Continue to make equal sectioned grooves by inserting the needle into the bottom and up through the top. I did this 6 times for a total of 7 sections/bumps. Knot and weave in ends.

My first hat of the year! It's August, so it's basically Fall, right?! I know some may want summer to slow down, but I'm all about Fall!

This beanie is part of the Christmas Hat Crochet Along that my blogger friends Katie (Salty Pearl Crochet) and Heather (The Unraveled Mitten) are hosting! It's a crochet along that includes 9 hat patterns from different designers - all hat patterns perfect for gift giving!

Get a head start on your Christmas making! Find all the patterns from the different designers here. (Runs through August 10th)

I have so many great things to say about this beanie! First of all, you can wear it TWO ways! You can wear it as a slouchy or fold up the brim for a less slouchy look.

Also, I love the pom pom addition! You can make a yarn pom pom but I love the look of a big poofy faux fur pom pom. 

Another great aspect? This beanie is so adorable and perfect for gift giving! Who wouldn't want a pretty textured crochet beanie to keep them warm? Make it in neutrals to go with practically any outfit/winter coat or use a color for a great pop of color to add to an outfit!

I used Yarn Bee's Rustic Romantic and the subtle flecks worked so well with the texture of this hat! It is a worsted weight yarn, and you may substitute any other worsted weight yarn. I would caution against I Love This Yarn! and Red Heart Super Saver, as those seem to be a 'thicker' worsted weight and can make your hat too large. However, I'm not the boss of your crochet and you can use what ever you'd like!
