Little Crochet Pumpkin and Garland
Today I just wanted to share this little pumpkin garland that I made! You don’t need much orange and green yarn, and just a string or other yarn to hang it.
Scroll down to see the free, picture tutorial and pattern below.
The little pumpkins are worked in the round. If you’ve never worked in the round, you may want to look up a YouTube video on how it’s done. If you have crocheted in the round, this is very easy.
You need to know how to crochet two together in order to decrease.
No stuffing needed for these little guys, but you could stuff them with some poly-fil and they would be super cute.
For the crochet pumpkin you will need:
Orange Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Lily Sugar N Cream in Orange
Small amount of green worsted weight yarn
Size F Crochet Hook
Tapestry needle to weave in ends
How to make it:
Chain 2
Round 1 Single crochet 6 times into second chain from hook, mark the end of round 1 if you need to in order to count your stitches.
Round 2 Single crochet 2 times into each single crochet (12 times around)
Round 3 Make one single crochet in each single crochet stitch around (12 stitches)
Round 4 Repeat round 3
Round 5 Crochet 2 together, decreasing, all the way around, continue until top appears closed (it’s not an exact science here), tie off and weave in ends
Stem:
Attach green to a stitch on or around center top of pumpkin
Pull up both ends to secure, rather than just your working yarn
Put hook through same stitch again, pull up working yarn only, single crochet, tie off, weave in ends, pulling the yarn through the stem to do so.
Lastly, attach a thin string or twine to your tapestry needle. Pull the needle through a stitch on the top of each pumpkin. The string or twine should not be too thick, or it can cause the pumpkin to be a bit deformed.
Hang, and enjoy!
I have a few other Halloween garlands that I think will be really cute to hang as a group with this little pumpkin garland.
Just a fun, basic little idea to give you some crochet pumpkin inspiration! Imagine making a crochet ghost, or witch hat garland!
So many things you can do!
Enjoy!
I just love these little pumpkins and they even got me thinking about how much I look forward to the month of October!
For fun I would wear them as a necklace to get some smiles.
That’s an awesome idea, to wear them! I could see a school teacher doing that for fun.
Linking Party!
