Large Pumpkin Crochet Pattern:
This pattern is the same as for the medium sized pumpkin but using the bulky sized yarn and the larger crochet hook creates this much larger pumpkin. So the work is the same, but resulting in a larger pumpkin. For the greenery, use 2 strands to create a thicker yarn.

Finish for all 3 sizes:
Then hold both ends together and sl st across to form a tube, fasten off
Insert the end in a large eye needle and sew ones side of the tube shut by going across back and forth through all ribbed ends
Add fiberfill to the pumpkin and shape it so it has to form of a pumpkin. You can make it round like a ball or more flattened like a saucer.
Now bring your needle and yarn through the end you already sewed shut to the open end and sew it close as well.
Now all that is left is to add the greenery curls to the top of the crochet pumpkin. Decide which side looks best to be the top and place the greenery in the center. add a needle to one end and sew it onto the pumpkin. Then tie a knot and push the needle from the top to the bottom and cut the yarn. Do the same with the other end of the greenery.
The crochet pumpkin is now complete! You can make these crochet pumpkins in many different shades of yellow, orange and red to create a large pumpkin patch for your fall decorations around your home!
