Giant Crunchella Pumpkin

Design by Gemma Williams from Concrete Gems

Introducing the Giant Crunchella Pumpkin – a whimsical, textured masterpiece that brings all the magic of a Cinderella fairytale to life!

Inspired by our popular Crunchella Crochet Pumpkin pattern, this giant version takes things up a notch, using multiple strands of DK yarn held together for a plush, squishy feel and a captivating texture. With its bold ridges and oversized design, it’s perfect for adding a touch of cozy charm to your fall décor, creating a stunning centerpiece, or crafting the perfect photo prop for your little pumpkins. Get ready to crochet your very own fairytale with this dreamy, textured pumpkin!

This giant crochet Pumpkin is a relatively quick and easy project, making it ideal for crocheters of all levels. With its charming design and customizable colours, this pumpkin is a versatile piece that can be adapted to match your personal style. Choose yarn from your stash and create a fairytale worthy masterpiece!

Finished Size: My giant pumpkin measured 13in x 7in (33cm x 18cm), but you can make yours as large as you like!
It really just depends on the yarn you use and how many strands you hold together at a time.
You can adjust the height of your pumpkin by crocheting more rounds of the central textured section (make sure this is an odd number of rounds).
