It’s officially fall, ya’ll!
We have until just about Christmastime to enjoy this beautiful season complete with sweater weather, a crispness in the air, turning leaves, and -you guessed it- PUMPKIN EVERYTHING.
Nevertheless, here is yet another pumpkin pattern! (I’ll never stop with the pumpkin)
This time, we are adorning our cute little pumpkins with little pumpkin hats!
This little pattern is based on the original Parker Newborn Crochet Hat – however my Parker isn’t a newborn anymore (*sobs incoherently*), he’s four months old! And has aggressively outgrown all of the hats I made for his tiny newborn head. So of course, I had to whip up a fall-themed brother to the original!Now, I know what you’re thinking… “Sewrella! There are already sooooo many crochet pumpkin hats out there! We don’t need another one! Let me live a day without pumpkin things accosting my face!”
Well, honey. Take that negativity somewhere else because it’s about to get PUMPKIN-Y UP IN HERE.
Most of those beloved pumpkin hats have a stem/leaf/squiggly thing perched atop your little ones’ head. To me, I don’t see stems – it looks like an orange and green boob. (That’s right, I said it) Maybe I just have nursing on the brain but I’m not a fan of the look!
But how could my pumpkin go to visit the pumpkin patch without his own pumpkin hat? (<<Guinness world record for most times pumpkin has been used in a sentence??)
So I settled on a fluffy green pom pom for my little nugget – still keeping with the pumpkin colors, gourd and stem, but a bit more subtle.
You could also make this hat in any colors ya like – it doesn’t have to be pumpkin related at all! (Although give me one good reason to take away the pumpkin, I dare ya)

Pom Pom “Stem”
– With fern, make a pom pom using the Clover pom pom maker. My child is modeling the 3-6 month size hat and I used the smaller pom pom maker in the larger duo sold at most craft stores. Your pom pom can be any size you like!
– Leave a long tail on your pom for sewing onto your hat, right over your magic ring
Don’t forget to PIN this project to your Pinterest boards!
I hope you all love this version of the Parker Hat – now pumpkin-y!
