Crochet your very own mini Halloween pumpkin Jack-o'-lantern, complete with a cute green stalk and endless possibilities for creative faces! This low-sew pattern is beginner-friendly and includes easy-to-follow instructions for securely attaching a keychain, making it perfect as a festive accessory or a unique handmade gift.

The pattern uses turning rows to create the body, with puff stitch for the hands and feet. This is then crocheted together to form the desired shape. A small amount of embroidery is needed for the face, and the only sewing required is to attach the stalk. I've provided options for either safety eyes or embroidered eyes. Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm hook, Eggy Pumpkin reaches a height of approximately 6.5cm. I'd love to see your completed projects; feel free to share them by tagging me on Instagram @dreamweave.creations or visiting my Facebook page, DreamWeave Creations.

I have assigned a beginner skill level to this pattern. While the majority of it involves simple stitches, crocheting the stalk can be a little fiddly. There is also a little embroidery required for the face. You must be familiar with reading patterns and understanding the abbreviations and terminology.

Feel free to explore variations by swapping out yarn and hook sizes to achieve a different outcome, and get creative with experimenting with various colours.
