Free Crochet Pattern: Pumpkin Snack Pouch | Autumn Selection

Enjoy Halloween with Crochet Projects

I crocheted some Halloween-themed accessories.

It's a small ghost pumpkin pouch.
It's the perfect size to put some snacks in and make a great little gift.

It is made from two motifs knitted with thick yarn.
It's quick to knit, so even if you decide to make it right before Halloween, you should still be able to finish it in time.

If you knit one with thin yarn, it can also be used as a ghost pumpkin patch!
Threading them on a string or sticking them on the wall will add to the Halloween atmosphere in your room.

Please try putting on your face as you like.
This is a mini item that can be made using leftover yarn, so it would make a great addition to your autumn knitting projects.

How to make a pumpkin snack pouch

Please refer to the crochet pattern along with these instructions.

① Start knitting by casting on the chain.
Make a chain of 6 stitches.

②For the first row of double crochets, on one side (going loop), pick up one chain on the other side of the cast-on chain and the back knot and knit, and on the other side (return loop), pick up one of the remaining chains and knit.

③In the second row, increase stitches on both ends. Where you do not increase stitches, you will work double crochets, so please check the pattern carefully.

④For the third row, knit a mixture of double crochets, medium double crochets, and quarter crochets, and increase stitches at both ends.
Knit the pumpkin stem in the third row.
For the first motif, cut the yarn after you finish knitting the third row.

⑤When you have finished knitting the second motif, leave the yarn uncut.
Place the two motifs on top of each other with the right sides facing outwards, then pass the remaining yarn over to the specified position and knit the edge.
All the edges are knitted in round stitches, and the two motifs are knitted together. When knitting, wrap the passed yarn around and hide it.
Once you have finished knitting the edge, cut the yarn.

⑥ Embroider the eyes, nose, mouth, etc. as desired.
