20 Crochet Pumpkins to Spice Up Your Fall Decor (No Carving Required!)

Adriana Maronese  - August 30, 2025

Crochet pumpkins are basically the fall vibe in yarn form. They’re quick to make, ridiculously cute, and you can never have just one (kind of like real pumpkins at the farmer’s market). Every year I tell myself just one more and somehow end up with a whole pumpkin patch on the bookshelf, coffee table, and—yes—even the bathroom shelf. The best part? They don’t rot, so you can pull them out year after year like your favorite oversized sweater.

Whether you’re stitching up a chunky pumpkin pillow for the couch, a handful of tiny ones to scatter across the table, or a quirky pastel gourd that definitely wouldn’t survive the farm stand, these patterns have you covered. I’ve rounded up 25 of my favorites—some free, some paid—so you can dive right in and fill your space with cozy autumn vibes (no carving knife required).

And there you have it—25 ways to turn a ball of yarn into the cutest little pumpkin patch. Whether you go for a tiny keychain gourd or a big squishy statement piece, these patterns are proof that fall decorating doesn’t need to be messy (or involve scooping out pumpkin guts). Grab your hook, pick your favorite, and start stitching—your cozy autumn corner is waiting.

Here are my 20 favorite Crochet Pumpkin Patterns...

01

Adjustable One-Stitch Pumpkin Pattern

If you’re all about simple stitches that look way fancier than they are, this pumpkin is your new go-to. The whole thing uses just one stitch, but the chunky yarn gives it that squishy, farmhouse-perfect vibe. Make them tiny or oversized—this pattern is fully adjustable so you can stitch an entire patch that looks straight out of a cozy fall market.
