The Pumpkin Pattern

Fall wouldn't be complete without some harvest decor! 

The finished pumpkin measures about 2" x 2" but could be larger or smaller depending on the yarn choice. Bulky yarn would make an adorable, chubby pumpkin! 
I hope you enjoy this little pumpkin amigurumi pattern!

Supplies
❤ 4 ply - worsted weight yarn, two colors - I love Loops & Thread's Impeccable at Michael's
❤ Crochet hook size E (3.5mm) or F (3.75mm) - I used a F hook
❤ Tapestry/yarn needle
❤ Polyfil stuffing or a stuffing of your choice

Pumpkin
Rnd 1: Magic ring 6 sc [6]
Rnd 2: sc 2 in each st [12]
Rnd 3: (sc 1, inc in next st) repeat 6 times [18]
Rnd 4: (sc 2, then inc in next st) repeat 6 times [24] 
Rnds 5-8: sc in each around [24]
Rnd 9: (sc 2 then dec) repeat 6 times [18] 
Rnd 10: (sc 1 then dec) repeat 6 times [12] 
Start stuffing the pumpkin, leave a just a little squishy 
Rnd 11: dec around [6]

Tie off and leave a long tail. This should be at the top of your pumpkin. Sew the opening closed. Pull your needle down through the center of pumpkin, bring it back around and down through the center again. Repeat to create the indented lines that give it that "pumpkin look." I did 5 lines, you can choose more or less depending on what look you want. Tie off to finish, hiding your thread inside. 

Green Stem Topper
Rnd 1: Magic ring 5 sc, sl st to close [5]
Rnd 2: Chain 4. In second st from hook, sl st down in each. [3]
In the next st of center ring, sl st to create a space between each "arm". Repeat Rnd 2 to create  
repeat around circle to create 4 more "arms". 

Stem
Tie off and cut a long tail. Thread your needle and pull all of your yarn tail up through the center. Create a slip knot and ch 4. In second st, sc in each st down. Tie off and sew stem securely on top of topper. 
Sew the finished stem topper to pumpkin.
