Today’s crochet pumpkin project is both 2-in-1 and 2-designs-in-1! Introducing the spooky-faced crochet pumpkin charms with hanging loops that also double as coin purses or AirPods pouches. In this tutorial, you will learn how to crochet the more functional design of the two pumpkin pouch variations. Soon, I will also bring the FREE pattern for the first pumpkin charm design, too. This pumpkin keychain also has a curly vine, hanging loop, and spooky embroidered jack face, too.

Requires crocheting two ribbed pumpkin pieces that will be seamed later on and working on the crochet pumpkin stem and the loop. You can crochet this 2-in-1 pumpkin charm and pouch easily within 45 minutes.

To close this crochet pumpkin pouch, you will also learn how to crochet a small loop through which you can pass the longer loop like a string. Then, attach your jack purse to the handle of your trick-or-treating purse or fall tote bag. You would be fine, especially if you give these pumpkin charms as a gift to little ones. Anyway, continue reading to learn more about this Halloween pouch project + how to crochet applique and assemble it.
