The diameter of the small pumpkin is approximately 9cm (3½in) and the diameter of the large pumpkin is approximately 10cm (4in).

This collection of simple crocheted pumpkins will make a colourful and decorative centre-piece for an autumn table. Each pumpkin is crocheted in continuous rounds and finished with a stalk and simple embroidery to create the ribs. I used Ricorumi DK yarn. Each size uses one 25g ball.

Other materials you will need include:

• 3.25mm crochet hook
• blunt-ended yarn needle
• Toy stuffing
