I love fall; it's a cozy season that inspires my creativity. Crocheting your own pumpkins is a fun and unique way to bring a warm, personal touch to your home.

With these easy instructions, you can make pumpkins in two different sizes. You can adjust the size by simply increasing or decreasing the number of foundation chains to make them taller, or by changing the number of rows to make them wider.

This pattern is quick and simple, and one of my favorite parts is the texture created by working in just the front loops of the stitches. This technique gives the pumpkins a beautiful, ridge-like look that mimics their natural shape.

These little creations are not only cute but also fun to make. Once you get the hang of the pattern, you can make a whole collection in no time. Plus they make fantastic gifts for family and friends!

So, grab your yarn and hook, and let’s make some crochet pumpkins!
