Before we dive into the crocheting process, gather the following materials:

Bold Tip: Make sure to have all these materials ready before you begin.

• Orange Yarn: Choose a soft, vibrant orange yarn for that classic pumpkin look.
• Green Yarn: You’ll need a bit of green yarn for the pumpkin’s stem.
• Crochet Hook: Select a crochet hook size that matches the yarn’s thickness (usually around 5mm or 6mm).
• Yarn Needle: This will help you weave in loose ends.
• Scissors: For cutting yarn and trimming.

Step-by-Step Crochet Guide

Follow these steps to create your pumpkin beanie hat:

Start with a Magic Circle : Create a magic circle and chain 2.

Round 1: Make 12 double crochets into the magic circle. Join with a slip stitch to close the round.

Round 2: Chain 2. Double crochet twice into each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch.

Round 3: Chain 2. Double crochet once, then double crochet twice into the next stitch. Repeat to around. Join.

Round 4: Chain 2. Double crochet once in each of the next two stitches, then double crochet twice into the next stitch. Repeat to around. Join.

Round 5-8: Continue to chain 2 and double crochet around. You can increase the number of rounds for a slouchier hat.

Round 9: Switch to green yarn for the stem. Chain 8, skip one stitch, and slip stitch into the next. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Finishing: Pull the yarn through the last stitch and tighten to close the top of the pumpkin. Weave in any remaining ends.

Now that you have your basic pumpkin beanie, you can get creative with decorations.

Consider adding a cute face with black yarn for a jack-o’-lantern look or sewing on some felt leaves for an extra touch of autumn.
