How to Crochet Rustic Farmhouse Pumpkins
The pumpkin is worked flat in rows from the side across. The ribbed stitch is crocheted by working a half double crochet in the third loop, alternating working one row from behind and 1 row in front.
The bottom is seamed closed and stuffed with polyester fiberfill, finishing by seaming the top closed. Indents on the sides are made by weaving the yarn needle down through rows. Step-by-step video tutorial included for Large size on YouTube.
The pattern includes 6 crochet pumpkin sizes PLUS the tutorial to make a pumpkin wreath!
You can decorate your dining room table for Thanksgiving with an assortment of crochet pumpkins. I also designed the succulent pumpkins. You can find the free crochet Succulent Pumpkin Cozies pattern HERE
If you’re looking for ideas for the front porch, get inspired by my display of crochet pumpkins. There are so many ways you can use them to decorate. Tag us in your photos so we can see how you’re displaying your pumpkins!
How to Make Tiny Crochet Pumpkins
If you prefer, you can crochet the pumpkins in worsted weight yarn and a 5mm crochet hook instead of super bulky yarn to get small adorable pumpkins. Due to the gorgeous autumn colour range, I settled on Wool of the Andes Worsted Weight from WeCrochet. ( I picked all these colours for our family photoshoot too ) I’m seriously drooling over these shades.
If you’re wondering, here’s the colour list;
Spruce
Fjord Heather
Merlot Heather
Amber Heather
White
Pumpkin
I highly suggest Furls Crochet Streamline swirl if you suffer from hand pain. I find them light with an excellent grip. I’ve found this hook has helped my hand from cramping. I’m using my Cookies N’ Cream from Furls Crochet.
I made this gorgeous pumpkin wreath with my small pumpkins. The tutorial is included in the PDF, or go to the free tutorial HERE

Stuffing
Stuff the pumpkin with polyester fiberfill. Join yarn back to the working yarn at the top opening.

Round 1: Ch 1, work 1 sc in every other row around the edge, sl st in the first sc to join. Fasten off with an extra long tail for seaming and indents. With a yarn needle, weave through the flo of each st around, and pull the top of the pumpkin closed.
Indents
Weave the tail down through ribbing to give the pumpkin more definition and shape.
With the long yarn tail from the top closure, create indents in every 2nd or 3rd ribbed row between the ridges. Weave the yarn needle down through the stitches, and push the yarn needle through the bottom closure, coming up through the top closure. Repeat this step around.
Cinnamon Sticks
Use a glue gun to secure cinnamon sticks in the hole of the top closure. Tie a piece of twine or plaid ribbon in a bow around the cinnamon stick to finish. Don’t use glue if you want to remove the stick for stacking sizes.
Stacking
Stacking sizing options as shown or mix and match to create your own combinations.
Option #1:
Bottom XL, Middle M, Top XS
Option #2:
Bottom L, Middle S, Top XXS
Option #3:
Bottom L, Top S
Pumpkin stacks can be secured together by weaving yarn up through each pumpkin. Start at the bottom and weave back down from the top. Knot ends and trim.
Display crochet rustic farmhouse pumpkins throughout your home as stacks or placed individually. They make a festive centrepiece on a coffee or dining room table.
