Cute Halloween Amigurumi Pumpkin Pattern
Learn how to crochet a cute pumpkin for Halloween with this free pumpkin crochet pattern. It’s a simple and small beginner project that you can finish in about 1-2 hours. This pattern is perfect for using any leftover yarn you have. I enjoy making mini amigurumi as they make such cute and quick gifts.
I made the small pumkin which is 8 cm wide, from sport weight cotton yarn. However, you can also crochet the pumpkin from bigger yarn. For example, plush chenille yarn will make your mini Amigurumi bigger and very huggable.
