This is the version that uses a crochet hook! There’s also a version without a hook - just using your hands! Look for the Chunky Hand Pumpkin for the hook-less version.

This adorable crochet pattern from Tamara Kelly of Moogly Blog is a must-make for lovers of autumn decor! This pattern is worked in the round from the bottom up using simple stitches like chains, single crochets, and double crochets. The super-bulky Bernat Blanket Big yarn gives this pumpkin its soft and chunky texture. It works up fast and requires no stuffing. Make one as shown, or make a whole pumpkin patch using any of the luxe shades available.
