Handmade Halloween Crochet Pumpkins & Fabric Bags
Crochet Pumpkin – Handmade Halloween Décor
Celebrate the season with House of Haby by adding a stitch of seasonal magic to your home with our handcrafted Crochet Pumpkin, made using Cygnet Seriously Chunky Wool; you can also use Rowan Big Wool. I made the ones in the image myself and honestly, it was fun, easy, and incredibly satisfying. We used size 7mm for our pumpkin but you can use a larger hook and create different sizes.

You’ve Made the Pumpkin—Now What?
You’ve stitched, and shaped your very own crochet pumpkin using Cygnet Seriously Chunky Wool. Now comes the fun part: deciding where this little handmade treasure will live.
Where To Use It
Table Centrepiece Charm: Cluster a few pumpkins in different sizes for a warm, rustic table piece. Add candles, dried leaves, or cobweb lace for extra flair.
Mantel Magic: Nestle your pumpkin beside your Halloween ghost, stitched bats, or a flickering lantern. It’s the perfect way to welcome autumn indoors.
Shelf Styling: Tuck it between books, jars, or spooky trinkets to add texture and personality to your space.
Window Display Wonder: Show off your handiwork in a shopfront or home window, especially if you’ve added a jack-o’-lantern face.
Kid-Friendly Fun: With its squishy body, your pumpkin makes a safe, seasonal toy for little hands.
Party Favour Flair: Hosting a Halloween gathering or craft fair? Your pumpkin makes a perfect handmade gift or table favour.
