Greetings dear community, October is one of my favorite months because I can do things allusive to Halloween, last year I did a full week contest where there were excellent participations from the creators of this community, I'm still thinking about doing another challenge this year, so if you have any suggestions I would be very happy if you tell me in the comments 😊 for now I share my most recent amigurumi project, it is a girl with a pumpkin costume, one of the most traditional for Halloween, I hope you like it 🎃
For this amigurumi I used acrylic yarn and a #4 (1.25mm) crochet hook, I started at the feet with 4 initial chains, then made two rows with 4 increases in each, to get 16 stitches, then I made a row taking the stitches by behind, two more rows of single crochets, in the next two rows I made 4 decreases to obtain 8 stitches, I made one row with green and six with skin color.
For the arms I started with 8 single crochets in a ring, two rows and on the next row two decreases to get 6 stitches, then I made seven rows. I made two equal arms.
For the torso I continued the work from the legs, making 4 single crochets in the first, then two chains, joined the other leg and made 8 single crochets, I made two single crochets in the chains and then the 4 single crochets of the first leg, managing to get 20 stitches, I made nine more rows of single crochet, joined the arms on each side to get 32 stitches for two rows, then I made three rows of 8 decreases to get the neck and made a row of 8 single crochet.
For the pumpkin dress, with green I made 20 chains that I joined with a slip stitch to form a circle, I made 4 double crochets and increased four times. Then I switched to orange yarn and did 3 treble crochet increases, skipped 6 stitches, did 6 increases, skipped 6 stitches and then 3 increases. From there, make 1 single crochet, 1 increase, 1 raised stitch (taking from the front) 6 times. On the next row I made 1 single crochet, 2 increases, 1 single crochet and a raised stitch, 6 times. Then I worked ten rows without increases making relief stitch where it belonged. On the next rows instead of increases I made decreases until I got 24 stitches. I finished with 1 slip stitch and hid the yarn inside. With black sewing thread I edge the face of the pumpkin.
I placed the dress and continued making the head from the neck making 4 increases in the first row, from there I would do 6 increases in the next three rows until I had 30 stitches, I made 8 rows if increases, I stuffed the head and then I made 6 decreases for four rows until closing and hiding the yarn. I made the ears with 1 slip stitch, 3 treble crochets together and 1 slip stitch. I embroidered the nose with the same thread, with sewing thread I embroidered the eyes.
For the hair with brown yarn I made 6 single crochets in a ring, 6 increases for three rows until I got 24 stitches. I made 18 chains and 18 single crochets in each, making a slip stitch to separate each one 24 times. Then I sewed the hair to the head.
For the pumpkin hat, with green I made 4 single crochets in a ring, then two rows, made 4 increases and switched to orange yarn to make 8 double crochet increases. On the next row I made 1 double crochet, 1 increase, 1 double crochet in relief for 8 times. In the next row I made 8 increases and in the next 16 increases, making the raised stitch where it belonged. Then 8 decreases in the next one to get 32 stitches. I made two rows of single crochets, finished with 1 slip stitch and hid the yarn.
