This crochet waffle pumpkin DIY is a fun project that gets its cozy texture from the waffle stitch. While it’s categorized as an intermediate-level project, it’s a fantastic opportunity for beginners to challenge themselves. This pumpkin is created in rounds, using a combination of double crochet, front post double crochet, and back post double crochet stitches. By alternating these stitches on each round, you can achieve the beautiful texture that gives the pumpkin its waffle-like appearance. Beginning with increasing stitches and then decreasing towards the end, you’ll shape the ball into a pumpkin. After stuffing it, you’ll have a cute pumpkin ready to embellish your space! You can find the free written pattern on the Handmade by Raine blog.
