Last year I knit a bunch of pumpkins (OK, 3) and I’d really like to have a whole mantel full of pumpkins of different sizes, shapes and colors.

Whether you want to knit a single pumpkin or a whole patch, here are some great patterns to get you started, all available on Etsy.

This pattern from Apple and Acorn Country is knit with ribbing and has a cute little curlicue stem. You can get it for $5.35.

Fit Food Art Shop’s pumpkin knitting pattern uses super bulky yarn and ribbing for a quick and easy project. If you can knit a hat you can knit a pumpkin! This one runs $3.20 and includes four pattern options.

For $3.58 you can grab a copy of the Sweet Pickins Pumpkin from Lamb and Co Designs. These are worked in Stockinette stitch and super bulky yarn, with an option for speckles.

If you’d rather make yours in worsted weight yarn, EmmaCrochetDesign4U has a sweet little Stockinette pattern that comes in three different sizes. You can get it for $4.95.

I love the bigger scale of the larger pumpkin in the pattern from Just Easy Knitting, which costs $2.80. The big one is 14 inches around while the smaller one is 5.5 inches.

Or make a fancy pumpkin using a velvet yarn with the pattern from The Ville Crochet. This is one where the yarn really makes the pattern that much cuter but you could use a boucle or textured yarn, too, if you wanted. This pattern runs $3.

And finally I shared huge, so why not also tiny? This pattern from Ebony and Teal is super small and adorable. You can knit a ton in no time and use up all your autumn-colored yarns. Grab this pattern for $2.

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
