This Halloween season is proving to be a productive one, filled with plenty of fun amigurumi patterns to try! Today, I’m excited to share a Spooky Pumpkin Crochet Pattern, perfect for adding a touch of Halloween charm to your home.
Crochet Spooky Pumpkin Pattern
This plush pumpkin features a large, eye-catching design, with oversized eyes that truly bring the pumpkin to life! The big eyes make the pumpkin feel more like a friendly character than a traditional Halloween decoration. However, I believe the eyebrows made with black yarn are optional, depending on your style preferences.
Whether you’re crafting for Halloween or just love plush crochet toys, this pattern is a must-try for those looking to create something both spooky and adorable.

IMPORTANT NOTES
✓ Toy size using these materials is around 10-11 cm (4 inches)
But keep in mind that you may get a toy size a little more or a little less.
It all depends on the yarn you use, hook size and your crochet tension.
✔ Use a stitch marker to mark the last stitch of every round.
✓ While stuffing do not forget to shape the body parts and never overstuff them.
