Tutorial to Crochet the Plush Pumpkin for Home Decor
This cute crochet pumpkin is a fun and simple amigurumi project perfect for autumn decor. You start by making the pumpkin body with plush yarn using basic single crochet stitches worked in rounds.
After increasing and working straight rows, you decrease to form a soft round ball filled with light toy stuffing.
Threading a long yarn tail around the outer body pulls the sides inward to form classic pumpkin ridges. Finally, you crochet a small brown stem using a smaller hook, stuff it slightly, and attach it to the top to finish your handmade creation.
