October 26th is National Pumpkin Day, and we’re celebrating with the cutest collection of crochet pumpkins we could find. Some are plush and squishy, some are textured and cozy, and one even hangs from your rearview mirror. Whether you’re making decor for your table, a gift for a fellow crocheter, or a quick project for a lazy fall evening, there’s a pumpkin here for you. Grab your yarn and your favorite hook, and let’s get stitching!
Herringbone Pumpkin

This pattern is by OphireCo. The herringbone single crochet stitch gives this pumpkin a woven, diagonal texture that looks classic and a little modern. It’s worked flat, sewn into a cylinder, then cinched into ridges and topped with a cinnamon stick stem. It would look great on a mantle or as a handmade gift!
Mini Pumpkin

This pattern is by Janina (@crochetbyjanina). This free mini pumpkin works up in about 15 minutes and is completely no-sew, so there’s no stitching pieces together at the end. That makes it a great pick for stocking up on market or craft fair items, or for making a whole patch of them to scatter around your home. They also make easy gifts or party favors for your halloween parties!
Bobble Pumpkin Cover

This pattern is by SeeLoveShare. Textured bobble stitches form a bold pumpkin on a 16x16" pillow cover, and the pattern includes both a graph and written instructions.

Pumpkin Pie Pillow

This pattern is by The Caffeinated Snail. This beginner-friendly pillow is a slice of pumpkin pie, complete with a scalloped crust and a whipped cream topper.

Pumpkin Car Hanging Plant

This pattern is by Squibble’s Crochet Corner. This free Halloween modification turns a car hanging plant into a jack-o’-lantern, with a felt face and succulent-style leaves. It hangs at about 9 inches, so it’s a spooky little accessory for your rearview mirror. It also includes a skull and a witches’ cauldron (extra spooky fun!)
Jack O' Lantern

This pattern is by KitzKnitz. Meet Jack, a 29" pumpkin man plushy with a striped body and button eyes. The pattern is low-sew and beginner-friendly, with photos, and it uses super bulky yarn. He makes a great Halloween decoration or a spooky-cute halloween gift!!
Pumpkin Coasters

This pattern is by Crochet 365 Knit Too. These little coasters are about 4.5" wide, with a tiny brown stem and a green leaf. The first three rows are a basic double crochet circle, so they come together in an evening. A set of four makes fall drinks extra festive~
