Really Cool Cardigan/Poncho/Pullover Type Thing!

I hate to say that Sweater Babe has done it again, but Dudes! Katherine has totally rocked her newest design!

Check out this awesome cape with cable and lace details.

This is what Katherine has to say about her latest creation: “Wrap yourself in cozy warmth and look ultra chic to boot!
This fabulous cape features bold cabled, shaped hip pockets and slit armholes. The same cable design embellishes the back. Wide lace panels run down each side. Shaping creates the easy fit and pretty drape.
This is the perfect piece to throw on top of your beautiful kimono-sleeved tops or your everyday t-shirt and jeans! Plus, it’s knit from the top-down, so you can adjust the length if need be.
6-button closure, including an extra button on the collar to keep the chill off of your neck.”

Whatever anyone wants to say about it, I am totally in love. And you guessed it, Yup, it’s going in the queue.

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.
