Hi friends! It's time for another free pattern that would make a cute little keychain! This mini pumpkin amigurumi pattern is super easy, takes less than half an hour to make, and is perfect for the autumn season!
I love this mini pumpkin amigurumi pattern because the pumpkins are the perfect size to be accessories for some of our other Halloween Patterns here on the blog! I originally designed it to go with Little Frankenstein, but it goes so well with others that I decided to make it this week's free mini pattern! I can't wait to see how you all use your mini pumpkins, so let's get to making them, shall we?

Assembly:
First, we’re going to make the bumps on our pumpkin.
-Using a yarn needle and the extra long tail from the pumpkin, bring the needle up through the middle of the pumpkin and out the top. Then bring the yarn in a straight line down the side of the pumpkin and insert it back into the middle of the bottom and then back through the top, pulling tight (but not so tight you snap the yarn). Bring the yarn straight down a few stitches away, insert it in the bottom middle, and bring it back up through the top. You’ve just created your first bump!
-Repeat this step to make as many bumps as you want. I usually don't keep track of how many stitches are in each bump, I personally like to make them all slightly different because it looks a little more natural and less uniform.
-When you are done adding as many bumps as you want, tie off and hide your tail, then it’s time to attach the stem and then you are all done!
I hope you have fun making your pumpkins and if you do, you should tag me on Instagram @cutiepie_crochet and show me your finished plushies! <3
