I am currently working on patterns for the upcoming season but wanted to share a quick pumpkin knitting pattern with you.\u00a0 I have created these using a thicker yarn so they are fast to knit if you wanted to do a few for a display or knit a small bowl of them.\u00a0 They are a quick, easy, beginner friendly knit.\u00a0 There is no shaping involved just knits, purls, casting on and off.\u00a0 Full instructions how to sew them together along with the optional stalk are included below.<\/p>\r\n

Pattern for Knitted Pumpkins<\/h4>\r\n

The images above have been knitted using Aran weight yarn (worsted weight, medium) and 4.5mm needle in orange.\u00a0 The yellow one used chunky yarn (bulky) on a 5mm needle. Finished sizes are approx.7cm wide x 5.5cm high (7cm including stalk) 2.5 inches wide x 2 inches high (2.75 inches including stalk)\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Using 4.5mm needles and same weight yarn (Aran) in green, brown or whatever\u2019s available in your stash.<\/p>\r\n

Cast on 7 stitches and then cast off these same stitches \u2013 so cast them on and immediately cast them off without working them. Leave a longish tail both ends for sewing.\u00a0 Follow the instructions below to sew and stuff the pumpkin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Pull this up tight, go around with needle to secure and fasten off.

Thread a needle and repeat to close this end.<\/td>\r\nSo do the same around the top, pull up tightly and use your needle to go round the seam to secure and fasten off.<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n

Stalk ready for sewing.\u00a0 Thread one of the tail ends and weave through the knitting to meet the other tail end.<\/td>\r\nPull on the tail end slightly to give it a bit of a curl.<\/td>\r\nNow attach this to the top of the pumpkin.<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n
