If you are having difficulty, remember she's working in a foreign language where the stitches are called by different names, etc. Be kind and grateful. Maybe this can help. Pattern written out: Pumpkin Body Chain 21 Row 1: skip first 2 ch, hdc in next ch and in each ch across Row 2-28: ch1, turn. Working in back loops only, hdc in each hdc across. Join to foundation chain by slip stitching through one loop of a hdc in row 28 plus one (corresponding) loop of foundation chain. (Note the needle is threaded with a single strand of yarn. The yarn is pulled through the needle to make the two ends the same length and you work with both ends of the doubled strand of yarn. You will have to tie and then cut the yarn to free the needle when you are done) Stem: Create magic loop (it's just a half hitch knot and you crochet into it before pulling the tail to tie it) Round 1: 6 sc in magic loop, pull loop tight to close. Round 2: * 1 sc in first sc, 2 sc in next sc Repeat from * around. (9 sc) Round 3: working in back loop only sc in each sc around (9 sc) Round 4-7: 1 sc in each sc around Finish with one slst in next sc, tie off Leaf Ch 5 Round 1: skip 1st ch, sc in next ch, hdc in next ch, dc in next ch, 3dc in next ch, ch 3 turn. Round 2: working in ch 3 just made, slst in next 2 ch, sl st in last dc made. Working in foundation chain, 3 dc in same ch as last set of 3 dc (1st ch st made in foundation chain), 1dc in next ch, hdc in next ch, sc in next ch (What you are doing here is mirroring the stitches you already made in the opposite side of the foundation chain. If the stitch has 3 dc, make 3 dc in the opposite side. If it has 1 hdc, make 1 hdc in the opposite side.). Ch 2, turn. Round 3: working in ch 2 just made, skip one ch, sc in next ch, slst to last ch in foundation chain. Tie off.
Thank you so much for writing this out. I liked her tutorial but for quick reference I liked the written out version just to double check where I was without having to rewind. This was super helpful. 💜😊
So impressive that you do tutorials in 3 languages and these pumpkins are so cute - I LOVE that you decorate them with twine and wee little cones, what a terrific idea!
Ciao! Grazie! I love that you are Italian and give many of your tutorials in English! I'm American, but i live in Italy and will be giving these out to all of the children who attend my kid's birthday party this month! Thank you so much for your wonderful video tutorials!
This is the first pumpkin I've ever made. This is such a preferred method rather than crocheting in the round. With crocheting in the round you have to increase the stitches and remember how many you're doing. It's a pain. This pattern is adorable because the ribbing is visible in the finished product. Absolutely adorablefor the first time that I've ever made one. I want to make a larger one and I am in the process but I am not sure how many rows to make with 30 foundation chains. The only thing I did different was I did not use double strands of yarn when I made my slices. As long as the yarn is strong one strand is fine
i love this video its my favorite tutorial for making pumpkins i got a glue gun and bought fall flowers and with a wire cutter i was able to decorate the top of these pumpkins and it was a big hit with my family and friends . thank you so much
Great pumpkins Mary, love it, gonna start making them so I will have an abundance of colored pumpkins to put all over the house for next Fall, thank you so much for sharing your talent and creativity, Merry Christmas, Michelle
I just made my first ever crocheted pumpkin!!! Thanks for the tutorial. I had to start with a chain of 22 beacause 21 didn’t give me the 20 hdc stitches needed.
Basically, it doesn't have to be exact with the half double crochet. I'm using my width measurement multiplied by 2.5 to give me the approximate length. I will just crochet as many rows as needed until I reach that measurement. All approximate. It will turn out nice regardless :-)
This is beautiful, did you use hot glue on the stem and leaf? I see what looks like hot glue string. May be mistaken. I want to make some for my mother.
How do you chain 21 then skip the first 2 chains and end up with 20 stitches? Wouldn’t you be 1 short and end up with 19? When I chain 21 and only skip one chain and work into the second chain from hook I end up with 20. Very confusing although the rest of the pattern is great.
Thanks Imani. I am doing a different pattern that calls for the same amount of stitches and only skips the first one and it works out fine. You’re probably right! There are techniques in this pattern that I like a lot!
Nick Kyle Scheuermann I going to be making this pattern and try doing medium and large. My guess is you would make your chain a little longer and add more rows too each size you make.
Hi, I have made pumpkins in many sizes, just change your yarn, I used bulky yarn, a larger hook, chained longer, they came out great, even the size of a bowling ball in off white chunky yarn, used fall leaves on top, some painted over with beige, added a cinnamon stick inside on top, voila!! Have fun. All the best, Michelle.
I notices she left that out. Since o don't really know how to do it, I'm going to do it the same way you'd attach a pom pom to a hat. Leave a long tail at the end of both the leaf and stem, then use the yarn needle to pull the stem's tail through the bottom of the pumpkin and tie a knot. Then repeat with the stem. Idk if that's how she did it but I don't know how else
I am having a had time at the very beginning - if we did 21 chains at the beginning and then skipped 2 chains then how we can to 20 half double crochet? Any ideas?
I can’t make out audio of the size yarn you used for either the small or the large pumpkin. Could you please reply to this comment with the size yarrn. Thank you from Arizona.
Genevieve Drape hi. I couldn’t hear what size yarn either but I used Caron Simply Soft yarn which is a 4 ply yarn and my pumpkin turned out small but it’s cute. Hope this helps.
Hey there. I'm Italian too but prefer asking a question in English. If I decided to start a foundation row with 30 chains and a 3.5 mm hook how many rows do you suggest I do I did 28 rows like your tutorial but I want all different sizes. Mille grazie.
These are really very cute, but some things just weren't clear and very difficult to figure out. I did ok, but I couldn't see how you threaded your yarn needle for the lines around the pumpkin, so a better picture of that would have helped, and the leaf and the stem were very difficult to follow. I think there was a step during the leaf making that you weren't clear about where the next half of the leaf stitching should go and I had to kind of figure that out too. Otherwise it's very good, slow and methodical and love your accent.
Am I the only one that has 19 hdc instead of the 20 that she stated in the video? I skipped the first 2 chains from the hook. Maybe she stitched 22 in the beginning?

Thank you. Wish I had read the comments before I finished two. :) ~ Karen
That was very nice of you to do this. However, I found her instructions quite clear and can't imagine why anyone would complain, but..... :)
Thank you so much for writing this out. I liked her tutorial but for quick reference I liked the written out version just to double check where I was without having to rewind. This was super helpful. 💜😊
Thank you for writing out the pattern. What size hook did she use? It didn't show up very clearly in the video.
@@5alfalfa For the thicker yarn (bulky or 2 strands together, she used a 6 mm For regular yarn, she used a 3 mm.

Great tutorial! I've made 5 so far... I love them!
Best little pumpkin pattern I’ve seen..TFS🥰🍁🍂🎃
I just made my first ever crocheted pumpkin!!! Thanks for the tutorial. I had to start with a chain of 22 beacause 21 didn’t give me the 20 hdc stitches needed.
I made my first one also i did 21 then since i skipped 2 chains all my rows where 19 but it still looks nice
Basically, it doesn't have to be exact with the half double crochet. I'm using my width measurement multiplied by 2.5 to give me the approximate length. I will just crochet as many rows as needed until I reach that measurement. All approximate. It will turn out nice regardless :-)
Very easy and very nice thank you❤

How do you assemble the pumpkin?
This is so much easier than I thought it would be, I lookforward to getting some pumpkins done!!! :D
This is beautiful, did you use hot glue on the stem and leaf? I see what looks like hot glue string. May be mistaken. I want to make some for my mother.
Thank you! I needed something to add to my grandchildren Halloween bucket. I added faces to mine!
Very cute.
დიდი მადლობა.thank you very much.

Very nice..thank you so..much..😃
How do you chain 21 then skip the first 2 chains and end up with 20 stitches? Wouldn’t you be 1 short and end up with 19?
When I chain 21 and only skip one chain and work into the second chain from hook I end up with 20. Very confusing although the rest of the pattern is great.
I think she means the stitch on the hook and the last slip knot made. That would make 20.
Thanks Imani. I am doing a different pattern that calls for the same amount of stitches and only skips the first one and it works out fine. You’re probably right! There are techniques in this pattern that I like a lot!
Troppo carina e facile :)
Anyone know how I would be able to take this pattern and make it twice the size? I really love it and would love to make a bigger one!
Nick Kyle Scheuermann I going to be making this pattern and try doing medium and large. My guess is you would make your chain a little longer and add more rows too each size you make.

Hola me encanto como puedo optener los patrones para tejerlos? No ouedo ingresar a tu wattsap
This is the first amigurumi-type crochet project I’ve been able to follow. :) One question, how to do you go about attaching the stem and leaf?
I notices she left that out. Since o don't really know how to do it, I'm going to do it the same way you'd attach a pom pom to a hat. Leave a long tail at the end of both the leaf and stem, then use the yarn needle to pull the stem's tail through the bottom of the pumpkin and tie a knot. Then repeat with the stem. Idk if that's how she did it but I don't know how else
Always remember the stem does not need to be perfect
Thank you
Muy bonita haré una gracias por subir cosa tan lindas
Great 👌 job 👍👍❤️🆗
Muy linda muchas gracias!
How do we attach the stem and leaf???
great video, thumbs up! have a great day! 👍👍 Like 👍👍
What size hook did you use? Even on slow motion I could not see for sure what size it is. You did not add it in written description in video.
Thank you Ruthrich for your answer.
Do you have a written pattern for this? I'm teaching a class and want to teach them how to make this
I am having a had time at the very beginning - if we did 21 chains at the beginning and then skipped 2 chains then how we can to 20 half double crochet? Any ideas?
Chain 22 instead.
Thank you! I find it hard to hear you. My volume is up. Unless I use my blue tooth speakers its hard. But I enjoy your videos.
We could hear you much better if you turn the music off. LOVE THE PUMPKIN !
While the videos are great, written instructions as well would be helpful. And no music in the background. As always, another great pattern.
how did you attach the stem and the leaf?
I attached mine with hot glue gun
When I tried to do the pattern mine ended up looking a little flat. I was crocheting in the back loop so I’m not sure why it doesn’t look like hers.
Muy lindo
I can’t make out audio of the size yarn you used for either the small or the large pumpkin. Could you please reply to this comment with the size yarrn. Thank you from Arizona.
Genevieve Drape hi. I couldn’t hear what size yarn either but I used Caron Simply Soft yarn which is a 4 ply yarn and my pumpkin turned out small but it’s cute. Hope this helps.
she said 6mm for hook and 2 strands acrylic yarn.Could not understand what she said for small one.
lydia piper 3mm for small and looks like medium weight yarn 4

Using 2 strands of yarn will make it bigger

+PFG I m sorry, I m Italian and I try to do my best translating my tutorials in English! I hope to improve my skills 😊
The pumpkin directions and video was very good but the leaf was not so clear.Written pattern would really help.
Am I the only one that has 19 hdc instead of the 20 that she stated in the video? I skipped the first 2 chains from the hook. Maybe she stitched 22 in the beginning?

I could here it,what a shame,even after turning volume on full.
Great video but I can't hear you and my volume is up all the way.
Judy HARWOOD hi Judy, I m so sorry, I can easily hear my voice. Can you hear the music at the beginning of the video?
MaryJ Handmade that's all. Your voice is very low.
Get rid of the music so we can hear you better.
