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.
