Amigurumi Pumpkin Crochet Pattern

Start with green yarn:

Round 1: 6 sc in MR
Rounds 2-7: 6 sc
Round 8: inc in every stitch (12)
Round 9: 1 sc, inc (18)
Rounds 10-11: 18 sc

Switch to pumpkin color (orange):

Round 1: 2 sc, inc (24)
Round 2: 3 sc, inc (30)
Round 3: 4 sc, inc (36)
Round 4: 5 sc, inc (42)
Round 5: 6 sc, inc (48)
Rounds 6-15: 48 sc
Round 16: 6 sc, dec (42)
Round 17: 5 sc, dec (36)
Round 18: 4 sc, dec (30)
Round 19: 3 sc, dec (24)
Round 20: 2 sc, dec (18)
Round 21: 1 sc, dec (12)
Round 22: dec (6)

Then cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.

Thread the yarn tail into a needle and tighten the last stitches. Now make sculpting pulls (mentally divide the pumpkin into 6 sections, following the increase lines) to shape the pumpkin. Insert the needle from bottom to top. Bring the needle out at the border between orange and green, then insert the needle again from bottom to top and make the next pull. The pulls can vary in width.

Next, crochet a leaf and sew it on. Using the same yarn, crochet a stem of about 10-13 ch.
