Free Crochet Pattern: Halloween Pumpkin | Autumn Selection

This is a crocheted piece.

Autumn is well underway and Halloween is just around the corner.
Halloween brings to mind orange and black, pumpkins, black hats, and ghosts.
I tried crocheting a ghost pumpkin.

In Sapporo, on Tanabata, children carry lanterns and go around the neighborhood asking, "Give us candles, give us candles!", to get candy. Is Halloween a similar image?
For now, get into the Halloween spirit with some small accessories.

Yarn and Crochet Hook Size

Medium-fine cotton thread (orange, black)
2.3 mm (JP 3/0)
Polyester wadding

Finished Size

Diameter 6cm Height 4cm

Instructions

①Cast on a loop and begin knitting with 6 knit stitches.
② Knit all the stitches using knit stitches, and for rows 2 to 8, increase the number of stitches by 6 each row.
After that, knit by increasing or decreasing the number of stitches as shown in the table below, and before closing the knitting, stuff the poly batting into the pumpkin.

③ Once you have finished knitting the last row, pass the end of the yarn through the stitch of the last row and tighten it. The finished shape will be with the start side on the bottom and the end side on top.

④ Once the main body is complete, take a long piece of orange yarn and thread it through a sewing needle (I used two strands of yarn because it will take some force when you pull it).
As shown in the photo on the right below, thread the yarn in eight directions from the center, creating a depression in the center. If you don't pull the yarn quite tightly, the depression in the center won't be noticeable.

⑤ Weave the stem to attach to the pumpkin made in ④.
Start by casting on the stem, then knit all the way through using a single crochet. After knitting three rows as shown in the chart below, sew to the depression at the top of the pumpkin.

⑥ Thread the needle with black thread and embroider eyes, nose and mouth onto the pumpkin to finish it off.

Rico's "Halloween Pumpkin"

Maybe the balance between the eyes and nose was off, so it ended up looking like a dog (lol)
I wanted to try knitting this in the fall, so I gave it a try.

Sally's "Halloween Pumpkin"

Once again, I used the knitting pattern as a reference.
A cute pumpkin perfect for Halloween
I knitted it.
I didn't think I could do the face well, so I left it out, but I think it would be cuter if it was there.

I'll introduce it on my blog again.

PigPig's "Halloween Pumpkin"

I didn't have enough thread so I had to reduce the number of rows, which made the pumpkin a little flat.
But this small size is indescribably cute.
Although there is no face attached, it is full of Halloween feeling ☆

koala's "Halloween Pumpkin"

My child had a Halloween event coming up, and I was thinking about hand-knitting something.
My child said he wanted to wear it around his neck, so I'm planning to attach a string to it.
thank you very much.

I posted it on my blog.

I'd like to make several, large and small, and display them.
