Materials

  • Orange, yellow, and green crochet thread (approx. 30 yards of each color)
  • Thin wire (about 20-24 gauge) for structure
  • Mini basket or small crochet hoop (optional, for the white pumpkin)
  • Hot glue gun (for securing stems)
  • Scissors for cutting wire and thread

Instructions

  • Start by cutting your wire into segments long enough to form the circular base of your pumpkin. You’ll need 6-8 pieces depending on how large you want your pumpkin to be.
  • Begin knitting with the crochet thread around the wire segments. For each pumpkin, alternate between orange and yellow to form the spiral loops that will create the pumpkin’s signature shape.
  • Once you've finished knitting the wire, twist the ends to secure the threads in place, making sure to shape the pumpkin as you go to ensure it holds a nice round shape.
  • To add the stems, use the green crochet thread and create a small spiral or coiled stem, securing it to the top of your pumpkin with hot glue.
  • For the mini white pumpkin, crochet a small basket and secure the knitted wire around it to form the pumpkin shape. Then add the same green curly stem to complete the look.
