Description

Crochet this simple Jack-o'-Lantern in a few minutes!

Instructions

  1. Small 111222 2f2015 09 23 204258 img 0377

    Pumpkin In orange 1) ch 8. Starting from the 2nd ch from the hook, 1sc in each ch (7sc) ch 1 to turn Rows 2-21) In the back loops only, 1sc in each stitch (7) ch 1 to turn. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing

  2. Small 111222 2f2015 09 23 204322 img 0385

    Take the 2 ends and overlap them, then sew them together. Do not cut off your yarn end. You will get a cylinder shape.

  3. Small 111222 2f2015 09 23 204639 img 0405

    With the same yarn, put the needle through the top stitches of the pumpkin cylinder, and pull tightly while you sew.

  4. Small 111222 2f2015 09 23 204705 img 0407

    This will close the hole of the pumpkin, fasten off when the hole is tightly closed.

  5. Small 111222 2f2015 09 23 204740 img 0416

    Stuff your pumpkin (I usually tend to stuff my amiguruimi quite tightly, so the shape holds) Now use the same hole closing technique to the other side of the pumpkin. Remember to pull tightly to close the hole.

  6. Small 111222 2f2015 09 23 204814 img 0422 2

    Now use the same hole closing technique to the other side of the pumpkin.

  7. Small 111222 2f2015 09 23 204830 img 0424

    Remember to pull tightly to close the hole.

  8. Small 111222 2f2015 09 23 204854 img 0439

    Stock In green 1) ch 2. 5 sc in the first ch 2) In the back loops only, 1 sc in each stitch. Sl st in the next stitch to finish. Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing. Sew the stock to the top of the pumpkin

  9. Small 111222 2f2015 09 23 204935 img 0443

    Using black felt, cut out a jack-o’-lantern face. I had 2 triangle eyes, a small triangle nose, and an odd shaped mouth.

  10. Small 111222 2f2015 09 23 205002 img 0468

    Hot glue gun the face pieces to the pumpkin. And you are finished!
