Materials for the Amigurumi Pumpkin Keychain

Medium weight yarn (50% cotton, 50% acrylic) in two colors (pumpkin + stripe)
A small amount of green yarn (for the stem)
2.5 mm crochet hook (adjust hook size if your stitches are too tight or too loose)
Fiberfill stuffing (not too much—just enough to make it plump)
Tapestry needle (for sewing & ridges)
Keychain ring/clip
Scissors

Pro Tip: Cotton blends give structure, while pure cotton makes it sturdier and heat-resistant if you plan to use it as decor.

Step-by-Step Amigurumi Pumpkin Keychain Pattern

How to Crochet the Pumpkin Body

Foundation Chain: Ch 20 (≈ 8 cm / 3 in). Keep chains loose.
- Taller pumpkin → add chains in multiples of 2.
- Smaller pumpkin → reduce chains by an even number.
  This chain length defines the pumpkin’s height.
Row 1: Starting in 3rd ch from hook, make 18 hdc. Ch 2, turn.
Row 2: Work 18 hdc in BLO. This creates the ribbed pumpkin texture. Ch 2, turn.
Row 3–20: Repeat Row 2, changing colors every 2 rows.
- Example: Rows 1–2 cream, Rows 3–4 orange.
- Always keep row count = chain count.

Your rectangle should measure about 6 cm (2.3 in) wide × 13 cm (5 in) long.

Check: If the piece curls inwards → tension too tight. If it waves/ruffles → tension too loose or too many stitches. Adjust hook size if needed.

Assembly Instructions for the Crochet Pumpkin

Fold the rectangle in half, short edges together.
Join edges with sl st through BLO only.
Ch 1, cut yarn, leave a long tail. Turn inside out.
With tapestry needle, weave tail across one open edge like a drawstring. Pull tight to close.
Stuff lightly with fiberfill—don’t overfill or pumpkin won’t shape well.
Close the other edge with the same drawstring method.
To form pumpkin ridges: thread darker yarn, run from top to bottom 6–8 times evenly spaced, pulling gently each time. Tie securely at the bottom.

Pro Tip: Create ridges evenly spaced around to mimic a natural pumpkin shape.

Crochet Stem & Keychain Loop

With green yarn, make a MR.
Rnd 1: Ch 1, 6 sc into MR. Join with sl st. (6 sts)
Rnd 2–5: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join with sl st. (6 sts each round)
- Stop here for a short stem.
Rnd 6: Ch 1, 2 sc in each st. Join. (12 sts)
Rnd 7: 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st → repeat around. Join. (18 sts)
Fasten off, leave long tail.
Sew stem to pumpkin top.
Use yarn tail from MR to attach keychain ring/clip securely.

Finishing Touches for the Pumpkin Keychain

Weave in all ends carefully on the inside.
Shape your pumpkin by adjusting the stuffing and tightening ridges.
Add a curly vine: Ch 20 with green yarn, sc twice in each chain to curl. Sew beside the stem.
Finished size: about 5 cm (2 in) tall (without stem).
