The Pumpkin Beanie – Free Crochet Pumpkin Hat Pattern

Who doesn’t need a crochet pumpkin hat complete with stalk and leaf? It’s an absolute must have whatever age you are. Easy to make, the perfect gift and a great little project for post stitch practise.

This cute little number comes in four sizes from baby to adult and is super simple to add rounds to so that it’s the perfect fit. It’s made from the top down and uses front post stitches to add texture.

I made this for my little boy last year and have the next size on my hook ready for him this year too. What else do you need for an October halloween treat?!

The Yarn

I used Caron Simply Soft for it’s fabulous colours, it’s price and the fact it washes so well (pumpkin hats get mucky in our house I’m afraid!)

You will need:

Caron Simply Soft – Worsted Weight – 100% Acrylic, 170g/288m

1 ball each of Mango and Green

Materials

Along with the yarn you will also need:

• A 4mm(G) crochet hook – my favourites are Furls Streamline Swirl crochet hooks or Clover Amour crochet hooks.
• Scissors
• Tapestry Needle

Tension

16st and 10 rounds = 10cm by 10cm

Sizes

Baby, Toddler, Child, Adult – the sizes are shown in parentheses throughout the pattern. It is really easy to adapt the pattern to suit your needs, just add or subtract a round to the crown to make it bigger or smaller and similarly the body of the hat can be as many or few rounds as you’d like.
