Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own rustic farmhouse amigurumi pumpkin:

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your pumpkin. This will serve as the foundation for your stitches.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochet (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail to tighten the ring.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around. You should have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: (Sc in the next stitch, inc in the next stitch) around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
5. Round 4: (Sc in the next 2 stitches, inc in the next stitch) around. You will have 24 stitches at the end of this round.
6. Continue Increasing: Continue this pattern of increasing until you reach a total of 48 stitches. The increase pattern is as follows:
   • Round 5: (Sc in the next 3 stitches, inc in the next stitch) around (30 sts).
   • Round 6: (Sc in the next 4 stitches, inc in the next stitch) around (36 sts).
   • Round 7: (Sc in the next 5 stitches, inc in the next stitch) around (42 sts).
   • Round 8: (Sc in the next 6 stitches, inc in the next stitch) around (48 sts).
7. Work Even: For the next 5 rounds, simply work 1 sc in each stitch around without increasing or decreasing.
8. Begin Textured Cable Stitch:
   • Round 10: *Sc in the next 3 stitches, then work a 3D cable stitch over the next 3 stitches* repeat this pattern around for a total of 6 rounds.
9. Begin Decreasing:
   • Round 17: (Sc in the next 2 stitches, dec) around. You will have 36 stitches.
   • Round 18: (Sc in the next stitch, dec) around. You will have 24 stitches.
   • Round 19: (Dec) around. You will have 12 stitches.
10. Fasten Off: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Use this tail to sew the top closed after stuffing.
11. Stuff the Pumpkin: Firmly stuff your pumpkin with fiberfill until it is plump and round.
12. Sew the Top Closed: Use the long tail to sew the top of the pumpkin closed securely.
13. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn.
14. Create Vertical Ridges: Using a contrasting yarn, thread it through the top and bottom of the pumpkin, pulling tight to form segments. This will enhance the pumpkin's realistic appearance.
15. Add the Stem: Crochet a simple tube shape in dark brown yarn for the stem. Attach it to the top of the pumpkin securely.
