Mickey & Pikachu Pumpkins

Happy spoopy season everyone! Let’s make some cute spoopy pumpkins.

In this pattern I show you how to make your own Mickey and Pikachu Pumpkins. And if you prefer just making a plain pumpkin - I show you how to do that as well with a bit of extra shaping.

Let’s get straight into it!

YARN & HOOK

• ·2mm hook

• Stylecraft Special DK in Spice and Khaki for Mickey and Pikachu, and Gold for the plain pumpkin.

• black felt (or any colour you prefer to decorate your pumpkin in)

• PVA glue or glue gun

• Toy filling

• Pins to place pieces before sewing together

• Needle

• Stitch markers (I prefer using scrap yarn as “stitch markers”)

SIZE

 The Mickey & Pikachu Pumpkins are approximately 6cm tall, and 5.5cm in width (Mickey is 8.5cm from ear to ear, and Pikachu slightly more), and approximately 5.5 cm from front to back.

Weight: 15grams (this includes all materials used to make this amigurumi)

STITCHES & ABBREVIATIONS – UK ENGLISH

Just a little reminder to everyone who seems to miss the above header… I write my patterns in UK English, where a UK double crochet is the same as a US single crochet. So if your amigurumi looks a bit elongated and off… you’re reading it in the wrong language.

ch chain

dc double crochet

htr half treble

bldc back loop double crochet; working your double crochets in the back loops only

blhtr back loop half treble; working your half treble crochets in the back loops only

st/sts stitch/es

sl st slip stitch

inc increase; dc 2 in one st

dec decrease; insert hook in the front loop of the next two sts, yarn over, pull through both loops, y.o. and pull through remaining two loops. This is also referred to as an invisible decrease.

y.o. yarn over

THE PATTERN

In this video I show you how to make the actual pumpkin, which you can use for all three variations, the peduncle (which is a new word to me!), Mickey ears, Pikachu ears, a slightly longer peduncle (there’s that word again!), and tendrils for decoration.

For any potential typos in the video, I will add the amendments in the pinned comments on my video over on YouTube.

THANK YOU & ENJOY!
