Crochet a little Halloween pumpkin with an orange body, a green stem and an embroidered face. This design is by demiwool, who gives a finished size of 6 × 6 cm with the specified yarn, excluding the hat. The designer’s instructions and stitch counts are kept intact below.
The cover image is an AI-generated concept, not a photograph of a finished sample. The assembly photos further down are demiwool’s original photographs.

Pumpkin (cont)
If you use safety eyes, remember to insert the eyes during crocheting.
Fasten off and leave a long tail (around 40cm/ 16inches) for sewing.
Thread a needle with the yarn tail and close the remaining gap (01), then needle through the opposite side (02).
Insert the needle into the FLOs in rows from top to bottom, pull tightly to divide the pumpkin into 6 segments (03)
Weave the yarn in the end (04).
