Hellop
I am planning on making these for a silent auction item for my woman’s club Game Day. Would like to make them in three sizes. Any tips on how to accurately increase the size? Thanks, these are adorable!
Hi Jill, Wonderful that you are doing a silent auction…Sorry, I don’t have a pattern for resizing.
Just love these, I’m going to make some today.
Thank you for sharing the pattern

Thank you Carolyn, for the visit! Enjoy!!! 😃
I am loving this pattern, and I have found it just in time for the Autumn/Harvest season <3 Just one quick question, for Row 4, am I crocheting row 2, with the 5/5/5 stitch sequence, or am I repeating the 3/9/3 sequence from the row prior (row 3). I hope this makes sense. Thank you
Thank you, Jaclyn! So glad you love it!
Hi Cynthia,
(Great name 🙂 )This is exactly what I was looking for to compliment my Cinderella amigurumi that I made. Thank you for posting!
Thank you, Cyndi! I’m so glad that this pattern was useful!
Thank you for sharing!
What size hook did you use and what size hooks would you recommend to make it bigger?
Thanks for the pattern! For Rows 4-25, should rows 2 & 3 be repeated eleven times or is rows 1 & 2 correct?
Cynthia these little pumpkins are adorable! I’m new at crocheting and have made only blankets so far. I’m going to give these a shot. Thanks for sharing & pictures. They are very helpful. Have a blessed day.
Thank you for sharing your work. . . its easy and more importantly your instructions and pictures were super clear! I was searching the internet for an easy pumpkin pattern!!! I will keep this pattern forever.
Adorable! And your instructions with pictures are great. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Bev! Have fun making them!
Hi Cynthia,
I just love this pumpkin pattern that I’m even working on one now. I’m working on the leaf and my leaf came out different than the picture. I’m learning as I go – what does the ‘*’ (asterisk) mean?
Thank you
Barbra
