Fiberfill for stuffing and safety eyes if you want that pattern to have a face are the shared basics across nearly every version here.

Pumpkin patterns to explore

1. No-Sew Amigurumi Pumpkin

Cuddly Stitches Craft designed this one to skip the sewing step entirely: the whole pumpkin, stem, and leaf are worked in continuous rounds. It finishes at 9 cm tall in sport weight cotton-acrylic, with the classic six-segment shape pulled in using a long yarn tail once the shape is done. The designer recommends embroidered features over safety eyes for anyone making this for a young child.

2. Pumpkin

Mariska Vos (DIY Fluffies) keeps this one small and quick, about 8 cm wide in sport weight Catania cotton with a separate crocheted stem. She notes it scales up nicely in chenille if you want a bigger, plusher pumpkin instead. A beginner should have one done in an hour or two.

3. Paulie Pumpkin

The Loopy Lamb made this one palm-sized at about 2 inches tall, worked in one piece with worsted weight yarn so there’s no assembly at the end. A curled green vine and safety eyes finish it off, and there’s a video alongside the written pattern if you want to watch the segment-pulling technique before trying it yourself.

4. The Absolute Easiest Pumpkin

Make and Do Crew skips amigurumi shaping altogether: you crochet a flat rectangle, fold it into a tube, stuff it, and cinch both ends. That means no magic circle and no stitch counting, and you can make it any size by changing the rectangle’s dimensions or switching from sport weight up to super bulky. It’s the pattern to hand a first-time crocheter.

5. Mini Pumpkin Amigurumi

Môhu goes tiny here, as small as 2 cm wide depending on your yarn, and says exact gauge doesn’t matter, so it’s a good pattern for using up whatever worsted weight scraps you have left over. Bead eyes and a short crocheted stalk finish each one in under 30 minutes.

6. Plump Pumpkin

Knot Bad Ami goes the opposite direction with jumbo weight yarn for a genuinely plush, squishy pumpkin, offered in a small (5 in) and large (8 in) size. The yarn-pull segmenting technique is similar to the smaller patterns above, just scaled up, with velvet accents on the stem and leaf for texture.

7. Cuddle-Sized Pumpkin

Storyland Amis builds this one to 4.5 inches tall in worsted weight, with firmly stuffed cheeks and needle-indented ridges rather than the yarn-pull technique most of the others on this list use. Safety eyes sit about 13 stitches apart with an embroidered smile between them.

8. Pumpkin Amigurumi

StringyDingDing works this one over 25 rounds in medium weight yarn, with the ridges pulled in 5 to 8 times depending on how defined you want the lobes. Stem and leaf are separate crocheted pieces rather than embroidered or twisted from yarn tails.

9. Mini Pumpkin Keychain

Cutiepiecrochet sizes this one specifically for a keychain, worked in worsted weight and finished in under half an hour. The designer notes items made from the pattern can be sold, though the pattern itself shouldn’t be copied or altered.

10. Pumpkin Coaster

Handy Little Me skips the amigurumi shaping entirely for a flat, functional coaster instead, worked in half double crochet rounds in DK cotton at 4 to 4.5 inches across. It doubles as an applique for a blanket or garland if you’d rather not use it as a coaster.

11. Pumpkin Crochet Coasters

Repeat Crafter Me adapts the first three rounds of a larger pumpkin granny square into a standalone coaster, worked in worsted weight with a crocheted stem and spiral vine. Since it’s drawn from a granny square pattern, it’s also the one to check out if you’d rather keep going and make a full motif instead of stopping at a coaster.

12. Pumpkin Coaster

The Caffeinated Snail uses cotton yarn for this 4.5-inch coaster specifically for its moisture absorption, with a natural divot worked into the top rounds rather than a fully rounded shape. A curled vine leaf finishes it, and the designer suggests adding a jack-o-lantern face for a Halloween-specific version.

Choosing a pumpkin pattern

Pick based on scale and yarn you already have on hand. Cuddly Stitches Craft, The Loopy Lamb, and Môhu all stay under 4 inches and work in standard sport or worsted weight; Make and Do Crew’s rectangle method is the most forgiving for a first attempt at any size; and Knot Bad Ami’s jumbo-yarn version is the one to reach for if you want a single statement pumpkin rather than a handful of small ones. Use each designer’s own directions for construction and safety choices rather than mixing details between patterns.
