Easy Velvet Pumpkin Crochet Pattern

There’s something about velvet yarn that instantly makes any project feel soft, luxurious, and cozy — and this Easy Velvet Pumpkin Crochet Pattern is no exception! This quick and simple fall project is made from a single crochet rectangle, sewn together to form a plush, beautiful pumpkin.

The Perfect Fall Decor Project

If you love decorating for fall but don’t have hours to spend on complicated patterns, this pumpkin is perfect for you. The bulky weight velvet yarn works up quickly and gives the finished pumpkin a rich, velvety texture that looks amazing in any color.

You can easily make a set of pumpkins in different sizes just by adjusting your starting chain and number of rows. Add a cinnamon stick, a crochet stem, or a piece of driftwood on top for a rustic touch — each one will have its own charm!

About the Pattern

This pumpkin is crocheted as a simple rectangle using single crochet stitches. Once your rectangle is finished, you’ll sew the short ends together to form a tube, gather the top and bottom, and stuff it to create the pumpkin shape.

Even beginners can make this pattern with ease — it’s a great project to practice your tension and get comfortable working with velvet yarn.
