Easy Crochet Pumpkin Dishcloth

Easy Crochet Pumpkin Dishcloth Pattern  by Janice Jones     |Published 10-19-2021

Need a last minute hostess gift or a project that's entirely made just for you?  Maybe you just need to add a little color to your festivities with a couple of these easy pumpkin dishcloths.  The pattern is beginner-friendly, and all that is needed is a little yarn and a size F hook.  You can use any type of medium number 4 worsted yarn. Still, I recommend 100% cotton as it washes easily and dries fast.

This is also a great pattern to practice your double crochet stitch and while you’re at it, learn how to weave in ends.

This pattern is written in US Terminology.  The double crochet stitch is also known as the treble crochet in the UK.

Pattern Notes

Seven rounds creates a circle with the diameter of 7 inches or 17 cm, a good size for an average adult hand.  Feel free to add extra rounds or decrease the size by reducing the number of rounds.  Use Round 5 in the instructions to increase so that the pumpkin lays flat.
