Worsted, chunky or super bulky yarns are all good choices for a crochet pumpkin. It just depends on which style you’re going for. Thicker yarns will have more bulk and work up quickly. Worsted weight yarn will show more stitch definition and detail.

It all depends on the pumpkin, but many are well suited for beginners. If you’re looking for a beginner pattern, look for one that uses basic stitches and that is worked from side to side as a rectangle first. This avoids any difficult increase or decreases required for working in the round.

Crochet pumpkins are perfect for: table centerpieces, shelf decor, stacked in pumpkin tiers, displaying in baskets, for gifts and for selling at craft fairs!
