Free Pumpkin Knitting Pattern

It's that time of the year when the leaves are changing colour, the nights are getting longer and of course pumpkins are appearing everywhere! So if you're not so green fingered why not knit yourself some pumpkins instead?

This pattern is super simple and can be made in any weight and type of yarn, fluffy smooth, colourful, chunky, whatever you've got hanging around in your stash!

Yarn:

Anything you want! The chunkier the yarn the bigger the final pumpkin will be. I used the following yarn & needle combinations to get different sized pumpkins:

Large Red: Super bulky (60m/100g), 9mm, final size approx. 8" / 20cm, used approx. 60g

Small Yellow: Chunky (110m/100g), 5mm, final size approx. 4" / 10cm, used approx. 40g

Needles:

Use a needle size 1mm smaller than recommend for you yarn of choice. This ensures you don't have a very gappy pumpkin. You can use either DPNs or circular needles.

Stuffing:
