Crochet the CUTEST Cat Pumpkin Plushie & Amigurumi Tutorial

Learn how to crochet a cat pumpkin for Halloween. First, you chain twenty-seven and crochet a large flat rectangle using half double crochet stitches worked only in the back loops to create a ribbed texture.

You join the short sides to form a cylinder, attach safety eyes and a safety nose, and sew on white eye highlights and green yarn whiskers.

Next, you pass yarn through the edges to cinch the top and bottom closed around fiberfill stuffing, weaving yarn. Finally, you crochet and attach a green stem and two cat ears.

Difficulty Level: Easy / Advanced Beginner

Explanation: The main body is a flat, simple rectangle rather than an amigurumi shape. It needs a repeating, basic stitch pattern. The other parts, however, require amigurumi techniques.

Materials Needed

4 Worsted weight yarn (Colors: main pumpkin color like orange, accent color like green, small amount of white)
4.5mm Crochet hook
Two safety eyes with backings 18mm
One safety nose with backing 12 mm
Fiberfill stuffing
Yarn needle
Scissors
