Tips For Making Crochet Pumpkins
You can make crochet pumpkins either in the round from a magic ring by crocheting them from bottom up or top down or from a simple rectangle.
A lot of crochet designers will crochet a simple rectangle to make a pumpkin as it doesn’t require complex shaping techniques. You can achieve this by crocheting a rectangle, folding it in half, and then gathering the top and bottom to create the pumpkin shape. Here are the crochet techniques for making a pumpkin from a rectangle:
- Foundation Chain: Start by chaining a multiple of stitches to create the width of your pumpkin. The length of the chain will determine the width of your rectangle.
- Row Stitch: Work rows of your chosen stitch pattern across the foundation chain to create the height of your rectangle. Common stitches used include single crochet (sc), half-double crochet (hdc), or double crochet (dc). Continue working back and forth in rows until the rectangle is the desired length for your pumpkin.
- Fold the Rectangle: Once your rectangle is the right size, fold it in half widthwise, with the right sides facing each other. This creates a tube-like shape.
- Seam the Sides: Use a yarn needle and a length of yarn in a coordinating color to seam up the sides of the folded rectangle. This will close one end of the pumpkin and create the rounded bottom.
- Stuff the Pumpkin: Before completely sealing the top of the pumpkin, stuff it with polyester fiberfill or another suitable stuffing material. Add as much or as little stuffing as needed to achieve the desired plumpness.
- Gather the Top: After stuffing, use a length of yarn to create a gathering stitch around the top edge of the pumpkin, leaving a small opening for closing. Cinch the yarn tight to gather the fabric and create the pumpkin’s rounded top.
- Secure the Closure: Once you’re satisfied with the shape and stuffing, knot the yarn securely to close the top of the pumpkin. Weave in any loose ends.
- Embellish: To make your crochet pumpkin look like a real pumpkin, you can add a crocheted stem or create a stem from another material like a piece of twine. You can also add a little green leaf or other details as desired.
- Finishing Touches: Lastly, weave in any remaining loose ends to tidy up your pumpkin.
Crocheting a pumpkin from a rectangle is a simple and fun project that allows for creativity in color, stitch pattern, and size. It’s a great way to make decorative pumpkins for seasonal displays or as handmade gifts for friends and family.
