• Crochet hook (size appropriate for yarn, typically 4mm–5mm)
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Stuffing (cutting wool or leftover yarn)
• Keyring or lobster clasp

Pumpkin Body

Create a chain of 13.

Row 1: Work half double crochet (HDC) in each chain until the end.

Row 2: Turn the work, chain one, and work HDC in the back loop only across.

Repeat Row 2 until you complete 9 rows or reach your desired length.

Shaping the Pumpkin

Fold the rectangle in half.

Use single crochet to close the sides.

Use a needle to sew the remaining open sides together.

Turn the piece inside out.

Stuff the pumpkin with wool or yarn scraps.

Sew the top closed to form the pumpkin shape.

Creating the Ridges

Wrap yarn around the pumpkin several times from top to bottom.

Pull slightly to create visible pumpkin ridges.

Secure the wrapped yarn tightly at the center.

Adding the Topper and Loop

Use pink yarn to create a small decorative swirl or knot on top.

To create the key holder loop:

• Chain a small length (approx. 10–15).
• Attach to the top securely and fasten.
• Slip a keyring or clasp through the loop.

Finishing

Cut and secure all yarn ends neatly using your needle. Your crochet pumpkin key holder is now ready to use or gift!
