This tutorial shows how to make an amigurumi pumpkin with two faces including the spooky funny face and one with a crochet smiling face both perfect for Halloween. You start by crocheting the main orange body in rounds, beginning with a magic ring and using single crochet increases. As the body grows, you work single crochet rounds, place safety eyes, and fill it with stuffing.
After closing the main body, you wrap yarn around the outside to divide the ball into rounded pumpkin sections. Finally, you crochet a small green stem and leaf, sew them onto the top, and embroider face details to complete the pumpkin.
Difficulty Level
Beginner to Easy
Reason: The project uses simple, repetitive rounds with basic single crochet stitches. The shaping is a basic round sphere, and assembly involves simple stuffing, wrapping yarn for sectioning, and joining a few small pieces.
