Say hello to the Mosaic Medley Crochet Pumpkins Pattern!

These charming crochet pumpkins come in three different sizes and they would be just perfect to add a touch of cozy autumn to your home. With their textured design and beautiful mosaic-style blend of colors, these stuffed crochet pumpkins feature a rustic yet elegant look, making them ideal for fall decorations, table settings, or seasonal gifts.

The pumpkins are crocheted using a subtle medley of hues in neutrals and soft autumn colors, adding depth to the stitches. The addition of the twig for the pumpkin stem adds a natural whimsical touch.

There are so many different ways to incorporate these crocheted pumpkins in your fall home decor! Use the smallest size for a fun pumpkin garland to drape on your mantle or along the center of any table or as a single party favor at a place setting!

The medium and large pumpkins are perfect to add as a centerpiece to a coffee table or as a dining table centerpiece. 

How to Make the Crochet Pumpkins

This easy crochet pumpkin pattern is worked from the bottom-up in the round and then cinched at the bottom, stuffed, cinched at the top to close the pumpkin, and then the “segments’ are created at the end with just one long length of yarn.

1. With your main color of yarn and leaving a long tail for cinching the bottom of your pumpkin, start with a foundation chain in multiples of 2, sl st to first chain to create a circle. The yarn you choose to start with will be the main color of the pumpkin – the second color used will be the yarn that shows from behind. I tend to prefer the neutral color for the main color and the multi-color yarn for the second contrasting color. But both options are so pretty!

2. The pumpkins are made with the Interlocking Arches Stitch which is the same stitch I used for the very popular Mosaic Medley Pot Holder pattern. I have a complete photo and video tutorial for the Interlocking Arches Stitch. 

3. There is no need to fasten off when changing colors as the yarn “floats” from the color changes will be hidden inside your stuffed pumpkin – simply drop and pick up the yarn as indicated in the pattern. Which means no additional ends to weave in!

4. Once you have worked the pumpkin sides to the height desired, fasten off leaving a long tail for cinching the top of the pumpkin + creating the segments of the pumpkin sides.

5. Using the long tail left at the beginning, cinch the pumpkin bottom closed.

6. Stuff pumpkin.

7. With long tail left at the end, cinch the pumpkin top closed – add more stuffing just before closing if necessary. Do not overstuff your pumpkin!

8. With the tail still on your needle, create the segments for the sides of your pumpkin.

9. Cut your twigs to size and glue to the top of the pumpkin. Using twigs I found gave a nice rustic note to the pumpkins!

My Checked Pumpkin pattern is made with the very same techniques and I have a complete video tutorial to help you through cinching the top, bottom, stuffing & making the segments! Video is time stamped to the assembly process so you can get right to cinching, stuffing & segmenting!

I hope you enjoyed making the Mosaic Medley Pumpkin Set – I can’t wait to see all of your pumpkins! Be sure to scroll down for the complete written pattern instructions below!

I am using Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn! which is a medium worsted weight yarn. You could substitute your favorite yarn for this project in any size! If you choose to change up the yarn weight be aware that will change up the finished size of your pumpkins. 

I recommend choosing a solid color as one of your yarn choices with a self-striping or variegated yarn for the contrasting color. I do recommend a self-striping yarn with short color changes since the pumpkins are small and you really want to showcase the different colors throughout. However, this stitch also looks lovely with two solid colors as well.

This is a great pattern for shopping your yarn stash – use what you have on hand!

For the pumpkin stems I chose to use sticks and twigs I found in our backyard woods. Why buy something when I can get something for free that looks amazing! I did need to use my pruning shears for cutting the sticks – scissors would not be strong enough.

Cinnamon sticks would also be another option for the pumpkin stems which would provide a lovely fall aroma in the air!

With long length of yarn, use a gathering stitch to gather top of pumpkin together.  Pull tightly; sew the top of the pumpkin shut. 

Create pumpkin segments by inserting needle from top of pumpkin through bottom 6-8 times evenly spacing these long stitches apart.  Tighten each ridge stitch to desired look.  Once complete, knot yarn and weave in end.

I have a video tutorial that shows you how to sew, stuff & add segments to your pumpkin: Checkered Pumpkin Tutorial with Time Stamp for assembly.

Cut twigs to size then glue to top of pumpkin.
