Step-by-Step Instructions

Large Pumpkin Panel: Ch 31, turn, sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (approx. 30 sts). Ch 1, turn, [sc in BLO across] for every following row until wide enough to form a rounded body.
Medium Cream Pumpkin: Start with ch 25–27, then repeat the ribbed rows in BLO sc, maintaining stitch count.
Small Orange Pumpkin: Begin with ch 21–23 and repeat the ribbed rows until the panel reaches a suitable width.
Seaming the Tubes: Bring short edges together with vertical ribbing. Seam first and last rows to form an open tube.
Stuffing and Shaping: Gather and secure one opening closed. Stuff evenly with polyester fiberfill, then gather the top opening and pull yarn strands through the center to deepen the vertical sections.

Assembly & Finishing

Weave in all loose ends, attach crocheted stems, leaves, and vines, and group your large orange, medium cream, and small orange pumpkins together into a cohesive fall arrangement.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Make a small test swatch using single crochet and choose a smaller hook if your fabric is too open.
Add fiberfill gradually to ensure an even, resilient shape without stretching the stitches.
Use long yarn strands passed through the center to enhance the realistic segmented pumpkin ridges.
