Crochet Cute Pumpkin Boy - Amigurumi toy or Fall decoration

2024-10-07

Hello My Crochet Friends!

I’m so glad you enjoyed the crochet pumpkin tutorial! Now, let’s keep the fun going—since we already have a pumpkin, we can easily turn it into a cute pumpkin boy!

Once again, the instructions are simple and beginner-friendly.

The best part about this project is that you can crochet your pumpkin in any color, shape, or size. You can even use leftover yarn scraps to create it!

This pumpkin boy can be a lovely toy for children, a charming fall decoration for your home, or a fun piece for Halloween.

The tutorial uses single crochet stitches, and the best news—there’s no complicated sewing involved! You simply sew the head and hands onto the pumpkin body, and you’re done!

If you’d like, you can add a leaf to the pumpkin boy’s hat or crochet a different type of hat to suit your style. A Halloween hat would look great too, making this pumpkin figure absolutely perfect for Halloween!

You can find the instructions for the pumpkin here:


Have fun!

Difficulty Level: Level 1 – Easy, for beginners

US crochet terms:

SlSt – slip stitch

CH/s – chain/s

HDC - half double crochet

SK - skip

T - turn

ST/s - stitch(es)

REP – repeat

TLO = third loop only

SC2TOG = 2 single crochets together

Special stitches used:

Single Crochet Decrease (sc2tog)

A crochet decrease makes the current row or round that you are working on shorter than the one previous to it.

1.  Insert hook into the first stitch.

2.  Yarn over and draw through the loop.

3.  Do not complete the stitch as normal.

4.  Instead, insert the hook into the next stitch.

5.  Yarn over and draw through the loop.

6.  There should now be three loops on your hook

7.  Yarn over and draw through all three loops on the hook

8.  You should now have two single crochet stitches side-by-side, joined together into one stitch at the top.

This pattern requires familiarity with stitches used, attaching yarn, sewing parts together with a sewing needle.

CROCHET CUTE PUMPKIN BOY  
PATTERN NOTES
1) A ch1 and Ch2 at beginning of the row DOESN'T count as a stitch

2) Magic ring = the starting point for crocheting in a spiral. Use which ever method you prefer.

3) Continuous rounds - HEAD + HANDS is worked up in continuous rounds, which means that you will not be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one. Instead you will need to keep track of where each round started and how many stitches you have made because after each round you will continue right on to the stitches of the next round (with no join). It is useful to use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the start or end of each round.

4) ( ) – The number of stitches that should be in a completed round/row are placed in brackets at the end of that round’s/row’s instructions.

5) This CROCHET CUTE PUMPKIN BOY  Amigurumi measures:

hight: 15 cm

width: 13 cm

hand length: 4 cm

The finished size will depend on what yarn you use, as well as your tension and hook (as with any amigurumi).

 

6) You can make the CROCHET CUTE PUMPKIN BOY Amigurumi bigger with a thicker yarn or a larger hook size.

 

7) There is some sewing: you will sew the hat on the head, the head and hands on the body, This is easy to do, there are no tricks.

FINISHING AND SEWING - INSTRUCTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Make sure the head and the body is stuffed well before sewing, but not so firm that you can see the stuffing through the stitches. Work around the entire round

The exact moment for starting filling and stuffing the toy depends on every single person. I prefer filling the toy with the work almost finished. It’s a bit more difficult to fill, but more comfortable to crochet. You should make proofs until finding the more suitable moment of filling for you.

Stuff head and body firmly and full. Use a stuffing stick or the back end of a pencil to push the stuffing into the right spots.

Start sewing the HAT on the top of the HEAD. Sew the HEAD on the BODY. 
Sew the HANDS on the BODY and make sure they are on one row. 

Cut the yarn and sew the end.
Hide the yarn tails inside the body.

And voila! You made a CROCHET CUTE PUMPKIN BOY!
