Crochet Pumpkin Hat Pattern PDF | Pumpkin Beanie in 7 Sizes, Preemie to Adult | 1 Ball, Easy | US & UK Terms

🎃 Pumpkin Beanie — Crochet Pattern

7 sizes, premature baby to adult · One ball per hat · Worsted weight, 4.5 mm hook · US terms with UK conversion chart · Easy

Seven sizes, from a premature baby's head to a grown adult's.

That is not a footnote — it is the reason to buy this one rather than another. Everybody in the same hat, in the same photograph, on the same October afternoon. One file, one ball of yarn each, and the whole family matches for the price of an evening's crochet apiece.

And at the smallest end of that range, a preemie size — which matters more than it sounds. Hospital knitting groups make these by the hundred every autumn.

As a make, it is small and quick and it teaches you something. The ribs that give it its pumpkin shape are worked with post stitches, and post stitches are the gateway to everything textured in crochet — ribbing, cables, raised patterns. This is a very good place to learn them: one ball, an evening, and something you will actually put on a head at the end. ✨

Finished with a little crocheted stem and two leaves at the top.
