Quick No-Sew Mini Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
If you’d rather spend your time crocheting than sewing pieces together, this little pumpkin is a winner! The free pattern is worked in one piece, including the curly stem, while ribbed crochet stitches give the pumpkin its lovely squishy texture. Stuff it, shape it and it’s ready to join your fall decor.
Free & Easy Ribbed Crochet Pumpkins
Make one, make two, or fill a whole basket! The free pattern gives you two sizes of pumpkin, each worked flat with back-loop crochet stitches to create those lovely deep ribs. Once sewn and stuffed, a simple crocheted stem finishes them off, and you can have plenty of fun mixing up the colors for fall.
Cutie Pie Small Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
This little pumpkin gets its squishy, textured shape from front and back post crochet stitches, rather than having the sections wrapped around afterward. The pattern is available free on the designer’s blog, and once your pumpkin is stuffed and cinched through the center, there’s a cute crocheted leaf to add on top.
Rustic Country Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
Here’s one where you can really have fun rummaging through your craft supplies! Follow the free pattern to crochet and shape your pumpkin, then choose a twig, cork or even a cinnamon stick for the stem. Add curly tendrils, raffia, berries, leaves or lace on top and make the finished pumpkin as rustic and dressed-up as you like.
Quick Textured Market Pumpkin Pattern
Made with fall markets in mind, this free pattern is brilliant if you like having options. Front post crochet stitches create the chunky ridges, while changing the yarn, hook or number of rounds lets you turn the same pumpkin design into anything from a cute mini version to something much bigger. There are even two crocheted stem styles to choose from at the end.
Easy C2C Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
C2C isn’t just for blankets! This pumpkin starts as a corner-to-corner rectangle, with cluster crochet stitches creating all that bobbly texture before it’s sewn, stuffed and shaped. The free pattern includes small and mini versions, but the C2C construction also makes it easy to keep going and create your own size.
No-Sew Paulie Pumpkin Crochet Pattern
Paulie may be small, but he has a lot going on! This cute pumpkin is worked from the stem down in one piece, so there are no separate parts to sew together. The free crochet pattern also comes with a step-by-step video, then you can finish Paulie with his little face and curly green vine, or leave the face off for a more traditional fall pumpkin.
Textured Ridgeline Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
If texture is what catches your eye, the Ridgeline Pumpkin has plenty of it! The free pattern uses an easy two-row crochet repeat to build those raised ridges and looks just as good in different colors. Finish yours with a cork or twig stem and you’ve got a simple fall project that doesn’t need loads of yarn.
Three-Size Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
This pumpkin is constructed a little differently from the usual crocheted rectangle. The free pattern has you crochet seven shaped sections before joining them together, stuffing the pumpkin and adding the stalk. There are three sizes to choose from too, so you can make one statement pumpkin or mix them together into a whole fall display.
Easy Tunisian Fall Pumpkin Crochet Pattern
Fancy trying Tunisian crochet on something small and seasonal? This free pattern includes three pumpkin sizes, with instructions for making each in either one color or two. It’s designed for beginners and even includes left- and right-handed video help, while a twig or cinnamon stick makes a brilliantly simple finishing touch for the stem.
Chunky Bobble Stitch Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
Love a pumpkin with loads of texture? Bobble stitches give this one its wonderfully puffy look, with raised crochet ridges adding even more detail between them. The free pattern works from the bottom up, then the pumpkin is stuffed and cinched before adding a little crocheted stem. A really fun one if plain pumpkins just aren’t doing it for you!
Geometric Mosaic Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
This pumpkin has a completely different look thanks to its bold geometric design. The free pattern uses overlay mosaic crochet in the round, alternating colors to build the squares without needing complicated stitches. Once it’s stuffed, strands of yarn are wrapped through the center to create those familiar pumpkin ridges, then a little wooden stick becomes the stem.
Easy Striped Crochet Pumpkin Trio Pattern
Stripes make this little pumpkin family really stand out! The free pattern includes small, medium and large versions, using a mix of crochet stitches to create subtle texture between the bands of color. Each pumpkin begins as a rectangle, so you can easily play around with the starting chain and number of rows if you fancy making your own size too.
Argyle Mosaic Crochet Pumpkin Trio Pattern
These pumpkins have gorgeous little diamonds running all the way around them! The free pattern uses overlay mosaic crochet to create the argyle design and includes three sizes to mix together. Each pumpkin is worked as a tube, stuffed and gathered at both ends, then you can pop in a cinnamon stick for a stem and a little hit of fall fragrance too.
Easy Pumpkin Pop Crochet Pattern
Here’s proof that a simple stitch can still make a really interesting pumpkin. The free pattern uses extended single crochet, which adds just enough extra height to create a subtle textured finish without making things complicated. There are three sizes to choose from, and the designer actively encourages you to forget traditional orange and raid your yarn stash for fun colors instead.
Wheat Stitch Crochet Pumpkin Trio Pattern
Make them separately or pile all three together! This pumpkin trio uses textured Wheat Stitch crochet, with puff stitches popping out across the fabric before each piece is seamed and stuffed. The free pattern gives you three sizes, and you can finish them with cinnamon stick stems, add ribbon, or stack the whole lot into one fabulous fall display.
Mosaic Medley Crochet Pumpkin Trio Pattern
There’s a clever little trick hiding inside these colorful pumpkins: you don’t need to keep cutting the yarn every time you change colors. The free pattern uses an Interlocking Arches crochet stitch, with the unused yarn carried inside the pumpkin where nobody will see it. Choose from three sizes, then finish each one with defined sections and a twig or cinnamon stick stem.
Easy Striped Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
Alternating colors gives this small pumpkin a fun striped finish without making the crochet complicated. The free pattern is worked back and forth in a simple two-row repeat, then the rectangle is joined, stuffed and pulled into shape. You can use two or three colors for the stripes and finish it with a wooden stem or even a wine cork.
Chunky Crochet Pumpkin Trio Pattern
Big yarn and loads of texture make these pumpkins look seriously squishy! The free pattern includes small, medium and large versions, with each chunky crochet pumpkin beginning as a rectangle before being sewn, stuffed and shaped. Once that part’s done, yarn is wrapped around the outside to create the sections, giving you a lovely plump pumpkin with deep ridges.
Diamond Granny Stitch Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
Granny stitch on a pumpkin? Absolutely! This design turns it into striking diamond colorwork, with two different pattern options and two pumpkin sizes to choose from. The crochet is worked in the round from the bottom up, then stuffed and finished with a cinnamon stick and ribbon. You can unlock the written instructions free on the blog, and there’s a video to help too.
Stacked Jack-O’-Lantern Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
One Jack-O’-Lantern wasn’t enough for this Halloween centerpiece, so you get three! The free pattern shows you how to crochet the pumpkins from simple ribbed rectangles before adding felt faces, curly vines, leaves and a wonderfully oversized witch hat. Stack your pumpkin trio together at the end, or leave them unsewn so they’re easier to pack away after Halloween.
Ugly Gourds Crochet Pumpkin Trio Pattern
Who says every pumpkin has to be perfectly round? This free crochet pattern celebrates the weird ones with three ornamental gourds inspired by real varieties: a wonderfully bumpy Warty Pumpkin, a ridged Autumn Wings Gourd and a Turban Squash complete with its funny little “pumpkin hat.” Each has its own unusual shape and texture, so there’s plenty here to keep things interesting.
Secret Pumpkitten Crochet Pumpkin Cat Pattern
There’s a kitten hiding in the pumpkin! Secret the Pumpkitten has her head and tiny paws poking out of the top, with the pumpkin lid perched on her head like a hat. The free crochet pattern starts with a simple stuffed sphere, then yarn is pulled around it to create the pumpkin grooves. You can even change the cat colors to resemble your own feline troublemaker.
Chunky Tunisian Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
Want to have a go at Tunisian crochet without committing to a huge project? This chunky pumpkin gives you a much smaller place to practice! The free pattern covers the small lattice-style version and includes a full video tutorial, with textured bands worked into the fabric before it’s sewn, stuffed and shaped. A cinnamon stick tucked into the top makes a brilliantly simple stem.
Halloween Pumpkin Snow Globe Crochet Pattern
A pumpkin and a snow globe sounds like an odd combination, but look how fun it is! This Halloween design turns the whole snow globe into a Jack-O’-Lantern, complete with a cheeky face, stem, leaf and curly vines. The free crochet pattern makes all of those pieces separately before they’re sewn onto the stuffed pumpkin globe, creating something completely different from the usual fall decor.
Spooky Skeleton Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
This pumpkin definitely belongs in the Halloween pile! The free pattern uses back-loop crochet stitches for the ribbed base, with color changes worked directly into the fabric to build the skeleton face. His slightly crooked smile is intentional, which gives him even more character, and once the rectangle is sewn and stuffed, a crocheted green stem finishes him off.
Halloween Pumpkin Witch Crochet Add-On Pattern
Already have a plain pumpkin? This free pattern is all about giving it a Halloween makeover! Rather than another pumpkin base, you get crochet add-ons for eyes, zigzag mouths, a witch hat and wonderfully silly striped legs with shoes. Pick just one feature or pile them all on and turn your existing pumpkins into a whole collection of funny little Halloween characters.
Funny Face Chunky Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
This is basically Mr. Potato Head in pumpkin form, and that makes it far more fun than it has any right to be! Follow the free crochet pattern to make the big stuffed pumpkin, then add silly face pieces that can either stay changeable or be glued permanently in place. Leave the face off completely and you’ve still got a wonderfully chunky fall pumpkin to decorate however you like.
Faded Colorwork Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
Instead of bold stripes, the colors on this pumpkin gradually fade into white for a really unusual finish. The crochet pattern is available free on the designer’s blog and uses chunky yarn, with a cinnamon stick making a simple natural stem. You can also change the finished pumpkin size by adjusting the yarn, hook or even how much stuffing you add.
Colorful Spiral Crochet Pumpkin Pattern
Those swirling stripes are what make this pumpkin impossible to miss! The free crochet pattern creates the spiral effect with changing colors while shaping a long parallelogram, which is then sewn into a tube, stuffed and pulled into its pumpkin shape. Add a small branch for the stem and you’re done, and there’s a video tutorial if you want to see the unusual construction in action.
