Tutorial to Crochet the Amigurumi Yellow and Orange Pumpkin
This tutorial teaches you how to make a ribbed crochet pumpkin. First, chain 31 with yellow yarn. Next, use orange yarn to work slip stitches, single crochets, and half double crochets across the chain.
Repeat this pattern with yellow yarn using back loops only. Continue alternating colors until the piece is 12 inches long. Sew the sides together to make a tube. Use a needle to pull the bottom tight. Turn it right side out and add fiberfill stuffing. Pull the top tight. Crochet a brown stem and green curly vines. Sew them to the top to finish.
Difficulty Level: Easy
This project is easy because it uses a simple rectangle. The shape comes from varying stitch heights rather than complex increases or decreases. It is perfect for beginners practicing basic stitches.

Difficult Stitch: Back Loop Only (BLO)
To work in the back loop only, look at the “V” shape on top of your previous row. Instead of inserting your hook under both loops, insert it only into the loop furthest from you. This technique creates the ridged texture that makes the pumpkin look realistic.
