Free Pumpkin Crochet Pattern

I have a quick, easy, and free pumpkin pattern especially for you guys, this is a great pattern and doesn't require a specific wool. You can use any wool you like to make this pattern; you will get a different size pumpkin depending on the wool you use. If you a nice fluffy chunky ball of wool, then you will get a larger pumpkin than if you use a double knitting wool.

Whatever yarn you choose just make sure you use the suggested size hook written on the wool band, you will get a nice tension this way and won’t end up with a holey pumpkin. It doesn't use a huge amount yarn so it is a great stash buster.

This Pumpkin is created by working in the round (amigurumi style), if you are not familiar with working in the round you can buy the full pattern which includes a version crocheted in rows - just click here to get it from Etsy, or Love Knitting or Ravelry .

I love making these pumpkins and they make such a great gift, I haven't met a person yet that hasn't absolutely loved a cute little handmade pumpkin.
