Get ready for autumn, fall and Halloween with the Bibbity Bobbily Pumpkin crochet pattern! It’s a traditional style of pumpkin made with the bobble stitch and comes in sizes small, medium and large, with an optional crochet stalk too.
They’re super cute, beginner friendly and easily customizable for other sizes if you need a whole pumpkin patch! You can make each size with one 100g ball of yarn or less.
Make your home smell yummy with a cinnamon stick stalk, crochet one in a contrasting colour, or find a stick in the garden. My testers and I tried them all and I don’t think I can choose a favourite!

Pumpkin Assembly
With your work flat, fold in half to join Row 1 to your final row with bobbles facing out. Using a whip stitch or similar, sew the two ends together.
Using a needle and long tail, weave in and out of the top of your work, working in the last bobble stitch of your row all the way around. Pull tight and secure to close one end of the pumpkin. Repeat on the other side ready for stuffing, but don’t pull closed. Leave a long tail.
With your choice of stuffing, fill your pumpkin leaving 1-2″ empty. Cinch the top closed, then add or remove stuffing as needed and secure.
With a needle and the yarn tail from the top of your pumpkin, line up the yarn with the side seam. Feed the needle back up through the centre of the pumpkin and pull tight to create a defined section. Repeat this step all the way round, leaving two bobble stitch rows between each section.
Use a stick of any kind to secure in the centre of the pumpkin, or follow the steps below to crochet a stalk.
Row 1: work 6 sc into a magic ring, sl st
Row 2: ch1, *2sc, sc* repeat * around, sl st
Row 3: ch1, sc in each st, sl st
Repeat row 3 until you reach your desired length.
Sew into the centre of the pumpkin.
Weave in any ends and finish!
