Funny Pumpkins
Free Funny Pumpkins crochet tutorial by Nadezhda Likhacheva @toys_rainbow_.
Using this pattern, you can crochet three pumpkins. All three toys have different shapes and facial expressions. For this amigurumi project, any acrylic, cotton, or cotton blend yarn and a matching crochet hook will work. The whites of the eyes are made with slightly thinner yarn. All parts are worked in a spiral. The faces are embroidered with thin thread.
One pumpkin is decorated with a mini pumpkin, another with mushrooms, and the third with a flower vine.

Vine
Crochet the vine around the pumpkin.
5 ch, then with 4 ch go back 3 stitches, make a sl st in the 4th stitch, finish with the 5th tch.
I have 11 repeats like this. Use the photo as a guide; depending on your crochet tension you may have more or fewer repeats. Sew the beginning at the base of the pumpkin stem, wrap it around, and stitch the entire vine in place to the end.
