Chunky Crochet Pumpkins: Two Free Patterns and Tutorials

I got to design two Chunky Crochet Pumpkins for Yarnspirations – one with a hook, and one using just your hands! And then I taught how to do both of them live for Michaels Community Classroom. And finally, I’ve added left-handed videos for the lefties! Get all of them here on Moogly!

“This adorable crochet pattern from Tamara Kelly of Moogly Blog is a must-make for lovers of autumn decor! This pattern is worked in the round from the bottom up using simple stitches like chains, single crochets, and double crochets. The super-bulky Bernat Blanket Big yarn gives this pumpkin its soft and chunky texture. It works up fast and requires no stuffing. Make one as shown, or make a whole pumpkin patch using any of the luxe shades available.”

Look for all the links and videos below! Right-handed videos for both patterns will be added to the Yarnspirations pattern pages at some point, but for now, the class is right-handed and covers both versions!

One question I got a lot of in the class – is it possible to use a thinner yarn? Absolutely! Just adjust your hook size to match. For instance, if you are using regular Bernat Blanket, I would recommend an 8.0mm crochet hook.

How to Make the Chunky Crochet Pumpkins – Live on Michaels

I taught this pattern for the Michaels Community Classroom, on September 6th, 2022. In this class, we were able to get through the entire project, and demo how to make the stitches both ways!
