I wanted to create a simple pumpkin design. It would add warmth and coziness to my coffee mornings.

To make this cozy crochet pumpkin, you’ll need some basic supplies. First, grab your worsted weight yarn. I’m using I Love This Yarn in Ivory, Burnt Pumpkin, and Light Sage, plus Red Heart Super Saver in Café Latte. These yarns are affordable and come in many colors and styles.

Yarn Choices and Substitutions

This crochet pumpkin pattern is great because you can change the yarn easily. You can swap the yarns I chose for others like Vanna’s Choice, Caron, or Lion Brand. Just pick shades of orange, brown, and green.

Additional Crochet Supplies

You’ll also need some extra crochet supplies to finish the project. A size G (6) crochet hook is perfect, along with a tapestry needle, scissors, and stitch markers. These tools will make it easy to create your crochet pumpkin pattern.

With these crochet pumpkin materials, you’re ready to make a cozy fall decoration. Now, let’s start with the pattern instructions!

Stitch Guide for the Crochet Pumpkin Pattern

Making the cozy crochet pumpkin applique is fun. It uses basic stitches that beginners can learn. The pattern is written in US crochet terms, making it easy for everyone.

The pumpkin is made in the round, starting with a magic circle. You’ll use stitches like the chain (ch), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), and double crochet (dc). These stitches help shape the pumpkin. The pattern also uses double crochet stitches in the back loop only (dc blo) for the texture.

To make the stem, start with a foundation chain of 8 stitches. Then, use slip stitches to shape the pointed top. The stem is made separately and sewn onto the pumpkin. This adds a cute finishing touch.

If you love crochet stitch guide or are new to beginner crochet stitches, this pattern is perfect. It’s a simple way to learn crochet stitches and create your own pumpkin.

By following the instructions and learning the crochet stitches, you’ll make a lovely pumpkin. It’s a great way to enjoy the autumn season. Let your creativity bloom!

Crochet Pumpkin Applique Instructions

Making the crochet pumpkin applique is a fun part of your cozy coffee cozy project. This pumpkin shape is made separately from the coffee cozy base. It lets you get creative and make your project unique. Let’s go through the steps to make this pumpkin come to life.

Stem and Leaf Attachment

To finish the pumpkin applique, we’ll add the stem and leaves. The stem is made of four rows of three single crochet stitches, giving it a fun curly look. For the leaves, we use single and double crochet stitches to shape them. After making the stem and leaves, we attach them to the pumpkin with the long tails and a tapestry needle.

To make the stem look great, mix 50% water with 50% white glue or Aleene’s Fabric Stiffener. This mix helps the stem keep its shape and adds a playful touch to your pumpkin applique.

The pattern uses US crochet terms, but I’ve included UK crochet stitches too. Get ready to add autumn charm to your cozy projects with this delightful crochet pumpkin applique!

Adjusting the Mug Size for the Crochet Coffee Cozy

The crochet coffee cozy pattern I’m sharing fits a standard Starbucks reusable mug. But, you can easily change the size to fit any mug. Whether it’s a 12oz tumbler or a 16oz cup, the design ensures a perfect fit.

To change the size, just chain the right number of stitches for your mug, plus one more. This extra stitch makes the cozy fit snugly without being too tight. The pattern is versatile, making it great for crochet coffee cozy, adjustable coffee cozy, or customizable mug cozy projects.

The standard crochet coffee cozy pattern works for 12oz and 16oz cups. With a few tweaks, you can make it fit your favorite mug. This way, you get a stylish accessory that keeps your drinks warm and adds a handmade touch to your day.

Coffee Cozy Base Pattern: Step-by-Step Instructions

Making the perfect crochet coffee cozy pattern is simple with these easy steps. The single crochet coffee cozy starts as a flat rectangle. This rectangle will be folded and sewn to fit your mug. Here’s how to make this easy crochet coffee sleeve project.

  1. Start by chaining 35 stitches. This is the base of your cozy.
  2. Then, do 12 rows of single crochet, adding a chain 1 at the end of each row. This makes a rectangle about 3.5 inches tall and 4 inches wide when flat.
  3. The finished base has 34 stitches per row, since you’re crocheting a single crochet in each stitch.
  4. For a perfect fit, adjust the number of chains to match your mug’s size, plus one extra chain.

Now that the base is done, you can add the beautiful crochet pumpkin applique. Keep reading for the next steps in this cozy crochet adventure!

Attaching the Crochet Pumpkin Applique

Now that you’ve crocheted your colorful pumpkin applique, it’s time to attach it. Use the long tails on the pumpkin to secure it to the cozy with a tapestry needle. This method makes your cozy look professional and seamless.

To attach the crochet pumpkin applique, follow these simple steps:

  1. Lay the pumpkin applique on the cozy base, positioning it where you’d like it to be placed.
  2. Thread a tapestry needle with one of the long tails from the pumpkin.
  3. Weave the needle in and out along the edge of the applique, securing it to the cozy.
  4. Repeat this process with the remaining tails, working your way around the applique.
  5. Once all the tails are woven in, tie them off on the backside of the cozy and trim any excess yarn.

By attaching the crochet pumpkin applique with this straightforward technique, you’ll create a cozy that showcases your handmade touch. It captures the essence of the pumpkin spice season. Enjoy the process of bringing your crochet project to life!
