Hocus Pocus Pumpkin Amigurumi Crochet Pattern
Get ready for a little Halloween fun with the Hocus Pocus Pumpkin pattern! The pumpkins are created by working in striped rows and need only a small amount of yarn. The shaping is minimal, with only a few stitches required to create the squishy shape. If you want more of a spooky twist to your decorations, add some safety eyes and a face for the witch version (included in the pattern).
One of the best things about this pattern is that it only uses a small amount of yarn, so get out your scraps. Just remember that the hook size will depend on your yarn thickness and tension.
Using Aran yarn / DK yarn and a 3.5mm hook, our Hocus Pocus Pumpkin is approximately 8cm x 6.5cm. The size will vary depending on yarn, hook, and tension.

Our patterns are written a little differently with beginner and neurodivergent crafters in mind. The abbreviated instructions are followed by a breakdown in italics, making it easier to understand what you need to crochet in each row / round.
