With this pattern + tutorial, learn how to crochet these 3 KAWAII pumpkin gnome amigurumi keychains for your Halloween trick-or-treating bag. These are the miniature crochet gnomes designed to be quicker and easier, compared to the MORE DETAILED big pumpkin gnomes. The design is simple: a crochet pumpkin body, long witch hat with belly belt, stuffed nose, and smile.

Crochet all three color variations of these pumpkin gnomes, whether using plush or amigurumi yarn, following the same pattern to decorate your treat table. My favorite one is the orange pumpkin with yellow hat variation. You can also crochet the hat in green or red.

These pumpkin gnomes will also make irresistible Christmas and New Year decorations. But this autumn, be sure to crochet one of these autumn gnomes. Luckily, this crochet pattern is also no-sew, and you can crochet one in within 45 minutes. Be sure to crochet a trio this fall, following this pattern. Now, continue reading to learn more about this project and how to crochet one in detail!
