Color Block Duffle Coat and Matching Blanket

The COLOUR BLOCK DUFFLE AND BLANKET IN SNUGGLY DK is an adorable and cozy set that is perfect for keeping your little one warm and stylish. The double-breasted duffle coat features raglan sleeves and is paired with a coordinating blanket, both are part of the Building Blocks collection of modern knitting patterns for babies.

The pattern is easy to follow and suitable for newer knitters, using basic garter stitch throughout. The blanket offers a great introduction to the intarsia technique, which is used to neatly join blocks of color with no gaps. The Snuggly DK yarn is soft and gentle against the baby’s skin, making it perfect for baby garments.

It is also easy to care for, machine washable and available in a wide range of colors, making it easy to customize the set to your liking.

Over the years I have shared a lot of pumpkin knitting patterns, and I’ve knit and crocheted a lot of pumpkins myself. But it feels like there are always more fun things to try with knit pumpkins, so this year I wanted to look a little more beyond basic stockinette or ribbed pumpkins and share some pumpkin patterns with cables, bobbles and colorwork.

In the cable collection we’ve got these cute little basic cable and ribbed pumpkins from Elly Bear Knits. There are two sizes that make a wide, flat pumpkin and a taller round pumpkin. Both are worked in the round as a tube that’s cinched top and bottom when you’re done, and they use bulky weight yarn.

Another cute cable pumpkin knitting pattern comes from Gray Bear Akswokrat. This one is knit flat and it looks like a chunky yarn but you could use other weights to make pumpkins of different sizes. This one also has an I-cord stem and uses yarn to cinch up the sections of the pumpkin, giving it a more natural look.

Add some bobbles to your pumpkins with this design from Autumn Shelter Makes. Also worked in the round in a tube, it features a repeating pattern of bobbles and uses yarn wrapped around the outside to make segments. This one looks like worsted weight yarn to me.

Of course there’s nothing that says your pumpkin has to be a single color, so let’s throw in some colorwork. I love the look of the Cozy Fall Pumpkin knitting pattern from South Stitch Girls. The little leather loop adds a rustic touch but you could also just add a stick. These pumpkins have five colorwork options and are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round.

There’s also the Autumn Fair Isle Trio pumpkins pattern from Equestriann Style, which has three different sizes of pumpkins with four colorwork designs. They are worked in super bulky yarn in the round and look good with high contrast or more muted color combinations.
