Why You'll Love This Crochet Bunny Pumpkin Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it combines playful design with cozy textures, making each bunny pumpkin irresistibly cuddly. I enjoy the creative twist of turning a classic amigurumi bunny into a pumpkin-shaped body that feels unique and festive. The chenille yarn gives it a soft, plush finish I cant stop touching, and the small details like the hat and stem make it feel handmade and special. I also love that the pattern is clear enough to allow small customizations so you can make each bunny your own.
Switch Things Up
I love changing colors to give each Bunny Pumpkin its own personality; try pastel orange and mint green for a softer look or deep orange and chocolate brown for a classic autumn vibe.
To make this pattern larger, use a heavier chenille yarn and go up a hook size; the shape stays the same but becomes chunkier and cuddlier.
If you want a tiny keychain version, use lighter yarn and a smaller hook, then attach a keychain ring to the top of the hat or stem.
I often swap the bobble stitch for surface texture by crocheting added ridges after the body is finished to create a different pumpkin look.
Try embroidering different facial expressions on the pumpkin or use felt cutouts glued in place for quick customization.
Experiment with placement of the safety eyes to change the bunny's personality — closer together for a sleepy look, or wider for a surprised expression.
For posable ears or limbs, add a short wire inside before finishing, then wrap and secure ends so the wire won’t poke through the chenille yarn.
Add tiny crocheted accessories like a scarf or a tiny pumpkin bag to create a whole set of themed characters to display together.
I like to mix yarn textures — using a smooth cotton for small details like the nose or felt for facial features — to make the chenille really stand out.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with stitch tension and stuffing levels; a little extra squish makes these bunnies look delightfully plump and homemade.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping the magic ring can leave a hole at the center of the piece; always start with a proper MR and tighten it securely when instructed.
✗ Forgetting to change colors exactly where noted can disrupt the pumpkin stripe details; swap yarns at the specified round and weave ends neatly.
✗ Not using the bobble stitch correctly will affect the textured look of the pumpkin; practice BO on a scrap and count stitches carefully when instructed.
✗ Overstuffing or understuffing causes poor shaping of the pumpkin and bunny; stuff gradually and adjust stuffing during shaping rounds to keep the form even.
✗ Ignoring front loop or back loop instructions will distort the hat and body edges; insert your hook in the specified loop (BLO/FLO) to get the intended shape.
