Please note this is a digital product. You are buying the pattern to make a pumpkin. It is not a physical product. 

Want to make a Jack all of your own, have a go with this crochet pattern!

This is a simple pattern for Jack the Pumpkin. He is a quick make and requires super chunky yarn and a bit of aran. Perfect for using any scraps.

I used 20g of Yarnsmiths Create Super Chunky and 2g of Stylecraft Special Aran.

Jack the Pumpkin stands 5cm (2”) tall and is 9cm (3.5”) at the widest part.

Yarn substitutions: I have made many of these now, and have mostly been using Yarnsmiths Create Super Chunky but this is only available online from Wool Warehouse. I have found Sirdar Hayfield Bonus Super Chunky to be a great substitute if you prefer to shop offline.

You will need:

Yarn A: 20g of Yarnsmiths Create Super Chunky in 6120 Burnt Orange (Super Chunky, 100g, 80m)

Yarn B: 2g of Stylecraft Special Aran in 1116 Green (Aran, 100g, 196m) or any scraps of aran yarn.

8mm (L-11) Hook

5mm (H-8) Hook

Darning needle

Stitch marker

Toy stuffing – approx. 17g

Safety toy eyes – I have used 12mm black eyes. (Optional)

Tension: Not important for this item, although if you are a loose crocheter you may benefit from going down a hook size so finished item does not show the stuffing. After round 3 of the body the project measures 9cm (3.5”) in diameter.

Stitches used:

ch = Chain

dc = Double crochet

hdc = Half double crochet

sc = Single crochet

sctog = Single crochet 2 stitches together (decrease stitch)

slst = Slip Stitch

sm = Stitch marker

st(s) = Stitch(es)

Written in US terms. The body is worked in a spiral. The leaf is worked in rows. Photo tutorials for making the dents in the pumpkin and for the leaf are included at the end of this pattern.
