Crochet Pumpkins are just about the most fun item to make – especially as summer begins to wind down and cooler evenings start to creep in. There are a million pumpkin patterns out there and they’re all going to get you to lively fall decor. This one just adds a gingham plaid motif to it. There is nothing complicated about it and we’re going to walk you through everything you need to know to work it up on your own. From a step-by-step stitch guide to an assembly walkthrough. You’ve got this!

UPDATE November 2024:

I hope that you’re enjoying your current knitting projects. It has been such a pleasure sharing my patterns with you and seeing your creativity bring them to life.

After much thought, I have made the difficult decision to no longer offer my patterns for free. This was not an easy choice—designing and sharing these patterns has always been a passion of mine and a way to connect with this amazing community.

However, the time, effort, and resources required to create, test, and perfect each pattern are significant. To continue bringing you high-quality, unique designs and to support the sustainability of my work, I will now be offering my patterns for purchase on Etsy.

I am incredibly grateful for your support over the years. Your kind words, encouragement, and enthusiasm mean so much to me. I hope you’ll continue to enjoy my patterns and support this new chapter.

Please visit my Etsy shop HERE to view and purchase my collection.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of this journey.
