Crochet Mini Pumpkin Pattern (Step-by-Step)

These cute mini crochet pumpkins are the perfect seasonal decoration for fall, Thanksgiving, or Halloween. They’re beginner-friendly and quick to make, ideal for coasters, table décor, or even garlands. Let’s dive into the detailed pattern!


🧶 Materials Needed

  • Orange yarn (for the pumpkin body)
  • Brown yarn (for the stalk)
  • 3.5–4 mm crochet hook
  • Yarn needle
  • Fiberfill stuffing

✨ Pumpkin Body Pattern

  1. Foundation:
    Ch 13 (or adjust length depending on the size of pumpkin you want).
  2. Row 1:
    Work 1 sc in the 2nd ch from hook. Continue working sc across. Ch 1, turn.
  3. Row 2 onward:
    Work sc in back loops only (BLO) across the row. This creates ribbing.
    Repeat until you have a rectangle long enough to wrap around and form a tube (about 20–22 rows for small pumpkins).
  4. Form the Pumpkin Shape:
    • Fold the rectangle in half lengthwise.
    • Use the yarn needle to sew the two short sides together to create a tube.
    • With yarn still attached, weave in and out along the bottom edge of the tube. Pull tightly to close.
  5. Stuff & Shape:
    • Turn inside out so seam is hidden.
    • Stuff firmly with fiberfill.
    • Weave the yarn along the top edge and pull tight to close. Secure with stitches.

🍂 Adding the Stalk

  1. With brown yarn, ch 6.
  2. Hdc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (5 hdc total).
  3. Fasten off, leaving a tail.
  4. Sew the stalk securely on top of the pumpkin.

🎃 Extra Tip for Realistic Look

  • After finishing, take a long piece of orange yarn.
  • Insert through the center top, push through bottom, and pull tightly.
  • Wrap yarn around the pumpkin a few times (like making “segments”) to give it a realistic pumpkin shape.

✅ Finished Size

  • About 3–4 inches across (depending on yarn and hook size).
