Looking for the perfect halloween crochet pumpkin patterns for your fall decor? You’ve found the patch. 🎃 The Lil Monsters Pumpkin Patch is a complete free series of 8 costumed pumpkin patterns — written for both knit AND crochet — that turn ordinary handmade pumpkins into a charming family of Halloween characters.

Each of these halloween crochet pumpkin patterns — from the Mummy and the Witch to the Devil and the Lil Bumble Bee — uses the same simple pumpkin base, then adds the costume details on top. That means once you’ve made one, the rest come together quickly. Make a single pumpkin, build a coordinated family display, or work them into a Halloween garland or wreath for your front door.

Below you’ll find the foundation tutorial for all the halloween crochet pumpkin patterns, all 8 costume patterns linked individually, plus the matching ad-free PDF bundle on Etsy if you’d rather work from one clean printable file. 👻

Why you’ll love these halloween crochet pumpkin patterns

• Beginner-friendly — no fancy increase/decrease shaping in the pumpkin base; just simple stitches and basic seaming
• Written for BOTH knit and crochet — most patterns include both versions, so you (or your stitching group) can pick your craft
• Stash-busting — each costume uses small amounts of yarn, perfect for using up scraps
• Endlessly displayable — entryway display, front porch family, garland, wreath, mantel decor, or photo prop for Halloween
• Mix-and-match — make all 8, or pick your favorites and grow the family year over year
• Coordinated family — same pumpkin base means everything looks like a matching set, even when made over time

If you’d like to skip jumping between 8 different blog posts and work from one clean, ad-free PDF, the Lil Monsters Pumpkin Patch Bundle is available in my Etsy shop.

Start Here — the Simple Pumpkin Base for All Halloween Crochet Pumpkin Patterns

Every costume in the patch starts with the same simple pumpkin base + stump. The base is a flat rectangle (single crochet for crochet, garter stitch for knit) that gets seamed and shaped into a plump pumpkin — about 15″ wide × 6″ tall. Once you’ve got the base technique down, every costume is just adding accessories on top.

Halloween Crochet Pumpkin Patterns FAQ

Are these halloween crochet pumpkin patterns beginner friendly?

Yes! The pumpkin base uses only simple single crochet (or garter stitch for knit) on a flat rectangle that gets seamed into a pumpkin shape. No tricky increases or decreases. The costume details are mostly small accents glued or sewn on top — so even a brand-new crocheter or knitter can make these.

How long does each pumpkin take to make?

Most makers finish one pumpkin (base + costume) in an afternoon. The pumpkin base itself takes about 2 hours; the costume details add 30-60 minutes depending on complexity. Once you’ve made the base once, the second pumpkin works up much faster.

Do I need both knit and crochet skills?

No — pick your craft. Most of these halloween crochet pumpkin patterns are written for BOTH knit and crochet, so you can make the entire patch in whichever craft you prefer. The Devil pattern is currently crochet-only; everything else has both versions.

Can I sell finished pumpkins made from these patterns?

Yes! You’re welcome to sell finished pumpkins made from any of these halloween crochet pumpkin patterns — small-batch personal sales are encouraged. Please credit SeeLoveShare as the designer. The patterns themselves may not be reproduced or resold.

What’s the difference between the free blog patterns and the Etsy bundle?

Same patterns — different format. The free blog posts are spread across 9 individual pages (foundation + 8 costumes) with ads and navigation. The Etsy bundle is one clean, ad-free, printable PDF that puts all the halloween crochet pumpkin patterns in one place so you can print it, take it to your couch, and work through the patch without scrolling.
