Autumn is hands down my favorite season. I love the fall foliage, cozy sweaters, and of course PUMPKINS!!! And of course, it only felt natural to release this pattern on the first day of fall 🙂
To be honest, when I sat down to plan out my fall designs, a pumpkin pattern was not on the radar. After all, I had already designed three pumpkin patterns last year (you can find them all HERE, HERE, and HERE). But after I made the Darlin’ Kitchen Set and Pillow, I knew I had to make a cute lil’ plaid pumpkin for fall!
I included 2 different sizes, a regular and a mini, and they both use minimal amounts of yarn, so use whatever you have in your stash! I shopped my stash for the yarn and I used WeCrochet Dishie in White for the main color and Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton in Goldenrod for the accent color. As long as both yarns are a worsted weight (4) yarn, you should totally be fine mixing yarns and brands.

If you do not know how to surface crochet, view the other PDF which is a photo tutorial on how to surface crochet.
I have provided 1 plaid patterns that can be followed. But feel free to come up with your own plaid pattern.
Notes For Grid
- The orange lines do not represent single crochets. Instead, the orange lines show where to work the surface crocheting.
- The vertical lines represent working in between the stitches.
- The horizontal lines represent working in between the rows.
Plaid Pattern
With the accent color.
Vertical lines: Work 1 row of surface crochet between every four stitches.
Flip the dishcloth/towel to work on the opposite side.
Horizontal lines: In multiples of 5 rows, surface crochet in between rows 2 & 3, and 3 & 4.
Assembly
Chooses a side to be the right side. I personally like the look of the “wrong side” of the surface crochet, so I choose to use that as the right side.
Sew the two short sides together to form a tube.
Cinch one of the sides closed.
Stuff the pumpkin and cinch the other side closed.
Leave a small hole to fit the “stem” in.
To make the indentions, insert the needle through the bottom center.
Pull up through the top center and pull slightly to make a more defined indention.
Evenly work a total of 6 indention around the pumpkin.
Weave in any loose ends. Dab a little glue onto the stem and insert it into the top hole.
