Directions
8 cm wide x 9 cm tall
STEP 1: Cast on 85 sts, and leave a long tail for weaving.
STEP 2: Join the first and last st in the row together to join in the round, and place a unique marker.
STEP 3: *K 11, P 1* Repeat until the end of the row.
STEP 4: Repeat the last row for 23cm.
STEP 5: Remove marker and cut yarn leaving a long yarn tail, around 45 inches (115cm).
STEP 6: Leaving the stitches on your needle, thread the tapestry needle with the cast-on tail.
STEP 7: Sew a running stitch around the cast on edge. Then pull it tight to the inside of the tube to close the opening.
​
STEP 8: Thread the working yarn through the tapestry needle. Pass the needle through the stitches on the knitting needle, removing them as you go.
​
STEP 9: Stuff the pumpkin, being careful not to overstuff.
​
STEP 10: Secure the yarn, and tuck the loose end inside the tube.
​
STEP 11: Pull on the working yarn end to gather the stitches and close the top of the pumpkin.
​
STEP 12: Push the tapestry needle and down through the pumpkins top, through the center, and out of the bottom. Pull tight to create the pumpkin shape.
​
STEP 13: Keeping the yarn tight, bring it from the bottom opening, and wrap it around the outside to the top of the pumpkin again, following the line of the purl columns.
​
STEP 14: Push the needle back through the middle of the pumpkin, bringing it back out at the bottom.
​
STEP 15: Repeat this step all around the pumpkin, tracing the yarn along the next purl column and pulling the needle back through to the bottom.
​
STEP 16: When all the purl columns are done, secure the yarn at the bottom of the pumpkin, and cut off any excess yarn.
​
STEP 17: Attach a cinnamon stick or a twig to the top of the pumpkin for the stem. Hot glue into place if desired.​
