Easy Ribbed Pumpkin Crochet Pattern

Nothing says fall quite like a cozy, handmade pumpkin—and this Easy Ribbed Pumpkin Crochet Pattern is the perfect quick and customizable project to get you in the autumn spirit! Whether you’re decking out your home for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or simply love the look of handmade décor, this little pumpkin is a must-make.

Made from a Simple Rectangle

If you’re a beginner or just looking for a relaxing, no-fuss project, you’ll love how simple this pumpkin is. It starts with a basic rectangle crocheted entirely in single crochet through the back loop only (BLO). This creates that beautiful ribbed texture that mimics the look of real pumpkin ridges—no complex stitches required!

Yarn: WeCrochet All Prima in Rustic Hills

This pumpkin pattern uses WeCrochet All Prima yarn in the color Rustic Hills, a lovely, earthy tone that’s ideal for fall. The 100% wool gives the pumpkin a warm, cozy look and feel, and the natural texture adds an extra level of charm to your finished piece.

So Easy to Customize

One of the best parts of this pattern? It’s incredibly customizable! Adjust the starting chain for a taller or shorter pumpkin, or make the rectangle longer for a wider shape. You can also experiment with different yarns, weights, and colors to make a whole patch of pumpkins in all shapes and sizes!
