Crochet Workshop for Beginners: Crocheting a Pumpkin

In the mood for a fun evening of crocheting? On Friday, November 20, Yvette from Yummigurumi will teach you the basics of crocheting in 2.5 hours, and you’ll make your own handmade pumpkin. This workshop for adults is suitable for absolute beginners as well as those who already have some experience.

You can choose your favorite color on the spot. Will you go for a true orange fall vibe, or perhaps a calm white or another shade? The choice is yours. And remember: progress over perfection!

During the workshop, you’ll learn:

The basic stitches: chain stitch, single crochet, slip stitch, and double crochet
How to crochet in the front loop, back loop, and both loops
How to neatly fill in your crochet work and prevent gaps.
Which yarn (brand) crochets well— where —so you can get started without frustration.
You’ll try out different brands of crochet hooks and discover what works best for you
You’ll crochet a pumpkin step by step under guidance and choose one of three patterns.
At the end of the evening, you’ll go home with your own handmade pumpkin—perfect for the table, in a bowl, or as a cozy fall decoration. And maybe even the start of a new hobby!

Already know how to crochet? Then you’re definitely welcome, too! For those with some experience, there’s a slightly more challenging pattern. And would you like to learn how to crochet in the round, amigurumi-style? That’s also possible during the workshop upon request.

Here’s what will be waiting for you during the workshop:

Beautiful beginner-friendly yarn for your pumpkin, or yarn suited to your skill level
Filling for the pumpkin
A crochet pattern for the pumpkin and the basic stitches
A crochet hook to borrow
Would you rather bring your own crochet hook? That’s fine, of course. A 2.5 or 3.0 mm crochet hook works well for this workshop.

You’ll get to take the yarn and stuffing home with you if your pumpkin isn’t quite finished yet, plus the crochet pattern as a handy booklet with explanations of the stitches used.
