A Bunch of Easy Pumpkin Knitting Patterns

September 16, 2020 by Sarah White

Fall is here, and it’s the perfect time to start thinking about pumpkin-themed projects! Whether you’re looking to decorate your home for Halloween or simply want to add some autumnal touches to your knitted items, pumpkin knitting patterns are a great way to do it. And what’s even better is that these patterns are easy and perfect for knitters of all skill levels.

In this article, we’ve rounded up a bunch of easy pumpkin knitting patterns that you can use to make a variety of pumpkin-themed items. From cozy scarves and blankets to cute little pumpkin ornaments and dishcloths, there’s something for everyone.

For beginners, we’ve included patterns that use basic stitches and simple shaping techniques, making them easy to follow and perfect for those new to knitting. More experienced knitters will also find patterns that incorporate more advanced techniques and textures, such as cables and lace, for a more challenging project.

Whether you’re looking for a quick and easy project to work on during a cozy night in or a more complex pattern to keep you busy over the weekend, you’ll find something you love in this collection of easy pumpkin knitting patterns. So grab your needles and yarn, and get ready to create some pumpkin-themed magic!

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.

Fun Tank Top Knitting Patterns

It seems like every summer there’s a new crop of tank top knitting patterns, and what I noticed about a lot of the new releases this year is that they have fun little details that make them a little more interesting both to knit and to wear. 

Like the Sailoress Top from Joji Locatelli, which has a pretty cable worked up the center from and back, with shorter sections of cable work on the shoulders. It uses DK weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes up to a bust circumference of 72 inches/ 158 cm. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. 

Combine lace and cables in an allover pattern on the Mountain Laurel Top from Andrea Gaughan. This sport weight pattern is worked from the bottom up in the count and has 10 sizes. It’s available on Ravelry.

The Vienna Textured Tank Top by Sarah Hatton has wide ribs broken up by eyelets. There’s very little shaping so it’s a pretty easy knit worked in fingering weight yarn. There are nine sizes available and it’s a free download on Ravelry.

Make a tank with a boho vibe perfect for festival season with Mary Beth Temple’s Tropical Sunset Tank Top. Worked in worsted weight cotton yarn, it’s knit from the bottom up in pieces to make it more stable. The coloring changing yarn is perfect for this one, or you can make it solid or work in your own stripes. You can get the XS size free on her blog, and other sizes are available on Ravelry.

Looking for a cropped lacy V-neck top to knit for summer? Jessie Maed Designs has the Sundae Swirl Tank, worked in DK weight yarn in the round with a fun combination of lace and cables. The ribbing under the arms helps give it a great fit. There are six sizes up to a chest measurement of 62 inches/157.5 cm. You can find this one on Ravelry.

How about a tank top with buttons? The Ridge Tank Button Down from Bluebird Pine Shop could double as a vest in cooler weather. This one is made with light fingering weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes. Grab a copy on Ravelry.

An otherwise simple top can be made a little more interesting with the addition of a fun edging, like on Sarah Opie’s Seashell Tank. Worked in fingering weight yarn, it has a whopping 24 sizes and lots of customization options for making it fit the way you want. The edging is crocheted. Learn more on Ravelry.
