Stacked Pumpkin Decoration Crochet Pattern

Crochet pumpkins are so fun to make this time of year! They look great as fall decor in your home. In this post you will find 3 different pumpkin sizes with the option to make a Stacked Pumpkin table center piece.

It is made with a K 6.5mm Crochet Hook and 2 strands of Worsted Weight yarn held together. Or you can use 1 strand of Bulky Weight yarn. I like the way the 2 strands, or bulky yarn, looks on the crochet pumpkins. You will also need some Poly-Fil to stuff your crochet pumpkin and cinnamon sticks to create a stem.

• Worsted Weight Yarn with 2 Strands held together, or Bulky Yarn with 1 Strand

How to Shape the Crochet Pumpkin

Stuff the pumpkin with Poly-Fil. Using a tapestry needle, weave in and out around the edge of the last row. Pull tightly to close the circle, secure with a knot. 

Use the remaining yarn and tapestry needle to create divots in the pumpkin. Stretch yarn from top to bottom across post stitches, pull tight and knot. Repeat this evenly around the pumpkin about 5 times. 

Stack pumpkins on top of each other and sew together. Hot glue a half piece of cinnamon stick to the center of the top pumpkin. Optional to glue on a twine bow or other decorations.
