Yes, I know there are lots of pumpkin patterns floating around out there. And I was fully intending to use someone elseβs pattern when I was going to make my pumpkins, but then I lost my 5mm hook, forgot to print out a pattern, and just wanted to wing it. So now you all get to enjoy this Pretty Simple Pumpkin!
This pattern is SO SIMPLE! Maybe I should have named it the βSuper Simple Pumpkinβ? Well, I didnβt. Itβs pretty, so I named it the βPretty Simple Pumpkinβ. Ok. Now that that is explainedβ¦
Itβs fun to grab my hook and just go sometimes, just to see what Iβll come up with. This pattern was one of those times. I had a great time making it while my husband drove the 7 hours to his parents with me in the passenger seat. I love being able to crochet on road trips. Itβs my favorite.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this pumpkin! Like I said, itβs super simple and very pretty! Happy Crocheting!

-yarn needle
βPoly Fil
-cinnamon stick
-hot glue or craft glue
-scissors

magic circle
sc β single crochet
inv sc dec β invisible single crochet decrease (single crochet 2 stitches together in the front loop only)
fo β finish off
Gauge:
5 stitches x 6 rows = 1 inch
Pattern Notes:
- All rounds will be worked continuously. There will be no slip stitch or chaining at the end or beginning of any row until the end.
- How to read pattern:
- Number before stitch means number of stitches in one stitch.
- Number after stitch means how many stitches you work specific type of stitch in.
- Asterisks (*) around directions means to repeat that part of the pattern as many times as the number after the last asterisk.
- Eg. β*2sc, sc 1* 6 timesβ means βCrochet 2 single crochets in one stitch, crochet 1 single crochet into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern 6 times.β
- Number in parentheses after each row indicates the number of stitches in that row once the row has been completed.
- You can stuff the pumpkin as much or as little as youβd like. The more you stuff, the harder it will be to sew closed, but it will look a lot fuller.
- Using hot glue or craft glue will help keep the cinnamon stick in place, but it isnβt 100% necessary. You could just take your chances and sew around it to keep it in place.

Thread yarn needle with long tail. Pull yarn through bottom of the center of the pumpkin where you made the well and around side. Continue this for a total of 6 times as seen in the pictures below.
Cut cinnamon stick in half. Put a dot of hot glue or craft glue in the center of the well made in your pumpkin and press the end of the cinnamon stick on glue. Hold for 30 seconds.
Sew the opening closed around cinnamon stick and sew in end.
Enjoy your Pretty Simple Pumpkin!
