Fall is my absolute favorite season! The crisp air, colorful leaves, and pumpkin-themed food everywhere makes my heart sing... not to mention CANDY CORN! So, I figured what's better than a candy corn themed pumpkin?

This is an easy project, perfect for beginners or advanced crocheters, and works up quickly since it uses super bulky yarn!

Crochet Candy Corn Pumpkin

Materials Needed:

Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick Yarn in 3 colors:

    - Fisherman (Color A)
    - Pumpkin (Color B)

    - Mustard (Color C)

6.5 mm crochet hook

Poly-fil stuffing

Cinnamon Stick (or piece of wood)

Yarn Needle

Scissors

Candy Corn (to snack on!)

Gauge/Yarn Info:

Yarn weight IS important for this project. You will need a category 6, super bulky yarn. Using a smaller yarn will result in a much smaller pumpkin and may not translate well. If you get large gaps in your stitches, try going down a hook size to get a tighter stitch. 

Gauge: After Round 6, your pumpkin should measure about 6" across in diameter.

Pattern:

Start with Color A (white)

Begin with a MC, ch 1. Leave it loose enough to fit the cinnamon stick. Don't secure the yarn tail just yet.

Rnd 1: 6 sc in the MC (6)

Rnd 2: inc around (12)

Rnd 3: *inc, sc in next st* repeat around (18)

Rnd 4: *inc, sc in next 2 sts* repeat around (24)

Rnd 5:  *inc, sc in next 3 sts* repeat around (30)

Rnd 6: *inc, sc in next 4 sts* repeat around (36)

Switch to Color B (orange)

Rnd 7: *inc, sc in next 5 sts* repeat around (42)

Rnd 8-10: sc around (42)

Switch to Color C (yellow)

Rnd 11-12: sc around (42)

Rnd 13: *dec, sc in next 5 sts* repeat around (36)

Rnd 14: *dec, sc in next 4 sts* repeat around (30)

Rnd 15: *dec, sc in next 3 sts* repeat around (24)

Insert the cinnamon stick stem then, using your needle, secure the MC yarn tail around the inside.

Rnd 16: *dec, sc in next 2 sts* repeat around (18)

Begin stuffing the pumpkin!

Switch to Color A (white)

Rnd 17: *dec, sc in next st* repeat around (12)

Rnd 18: dec around (6)

Using your needle, weave in and out the front loops only to close the hole. DO NOT CUT. Keep the tail long - about 3 wraps around the pumpkin.

Insert the needle through the top of the pumpkin, between the MC and Rnd 2. Then, push it down through the white center (Rnd 17/18). Do this 5 times total spaced evenly around the whole pumpkin. Then, finish off and secure the yarn end inside the pumpkin.

Embellish your pumpkin with leather tags or raffia to finish!

Ta-da! You're done! Easy, quick, and super cute!
