Introduction Welcome to this crochet tutorial where we will be making a super cute pumpkin cuddle buddy. In this tutorial, I will provide step-by-step instructions on how to create this adorable crochet project. So grab your crochet hooks and let's get started!

Materials and Stitches Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we will need for this project. I will also introduce the different stitches that will be used throughout the tutorial. Make sure to check the description box below for a list of materials and stitches needed for this project.

Starting the Pumpkin To start off, we will begin by chaining 21 stitches. This will serve as the foundation for our pumpkin. We will then work row by row, incorporating different crochet stitches to create the ridges on the top and bottom of the pumpkin.

Increasing Rows In the next few rows, we will be increasing the number of stitches to give our pumpkin its round shape. By gradually increasing the stitches, we will create a full and plump pumpkin.

Decreasing Rows Once we have reached the desired size for our pumpkin, we will start decreasing the number of stitches. This will shape the top of the pumpkin and give it a more tapered look.

Creating the Stem Every pumpkin needs a stem! We will create the stem by chaining five stitches and working several rows of single crochet stitches. The back loop only technique will give the stem some texture and ridges.

Making the Arms and Legs Our pumpkin cuddle buddy won't be complete without some adorable arms and legs. We will create these by working in rounds and using a magic circle to start. The arms and legs will be stitched closed and attached to the body of the pumpkin.

Assembling the Pumpkin Now it's time to bring all the pieces together. We will join the front and back pieces of the pumpkin using single crochet stitches. This will give the pumpkin a clean and finished look.

Adding the Face No pumpkin is complete without a friendly face! We will use black yarn to create the eyes and mouth of our pumpkin. Feel free to get creative with the facial expression, giving your pumpkin cuddle buddy its own unique personality.
