When we’re wearing the same things my little lady likes to say we’re “matchy-matchy.” She’s only 2 and is big on noticing colors and patterns, so when she sees a “match” she gets really excited. Gotta love this age, they are just full of wonder and awe at every little thing.
Did you notice the knit look of this crochet pumpkin hat? It’s the 3rd loop half double crochet stitch that gives the crochet pumpkin hat it’s ribbed texture. If you haven’t learned the 3rd loop hdc stitch yet, you’re gonna love it.
I’ve used the 3rd loop hdc stitch in a few crochet patterns now. It’s even easier than single crochet ribbing. And works up faster too. 3rd loop hdc video is included to help you crochet your own pumpkin hat.
I first used the 3rd loop hdc in my Hygge Homebody Cardigan which is a crochet cardigan pattern with the coziest neckline. It’s a super stretchy stitch and I just love how the collar wraps around me. This is the cardigan I put on first thing in the morning when it’s just too chilly to get out of bed!
It’s really a fast little pumpkin hat and so fun for fall! The kids love wearing their mama made crochet pumpkin hats to festivals and gatherings. I can’t wait to make more of them!
Construction
The pumpkin hat is crocheted in the 3rd loop of the hdc stitch, which I explain below and I have also included a video tutorial.
To achieve the pumpkin effect, this hat is worked flat in rows. So we’re just crocheting a rectangle to make this crochet pumpkin hat.
Once your rectangle is complete, you seam it up to form the tube. I have a video for that too, should you need it!
And finally, you will close up one end of the tube to form the top of the hat, finishing with the stem. There are videos for the stitch I used to close the hat and how to make the stem too. So you’re all covered if any (or all) of these techniques are new to you!
