Learn how to crochet your own Pumpkin for Halloween, Fall or even Thanksgiving. These make for fabulous home decor items for a center piece or strategic fall decorations.
This article has all 3 pumpkin sizes as the pattern already has it. However, the tutorial below is only for the large pumpkin that you see in the photograph.

To be transparent. I had a little bit of issues with the stuffing. During the crocheting portion, I felt I over stuffed it… After I was done and the stitches settled out a few minutes later, I realized my pumpkin looked deflated. I made a secret hole in the bottom of my pumpkin to add more stuffing to it.
I also manipulated the stem to have a slight bend as most pumpkins never have a straight stem. It’s more artistic license at this point.
