Materials

P/11.50mm hook (for crochet)
9.0mm 16” circular needles (for knit)
Poly-fil Stuffing
Cinnamon Sticks and twine for stem
Tapestry and Scissors
Pattern notes
The pumpkin will be made by working in the round then sewn and cinched up at the top and bottom to create the sphere. We will additionally add grooves to the side with yarn and needle.
Adjusting Pumpkin size: If you would like to make multiple pumpkins in different sizes, simply add or subtract the number of beginning stitches/cast on stitches as well as the number of rows. I suggest adding/subtracting in multiples of 10 for the beginning stitches and adding/subtracting in multiples of 2-3 for the number of rows.
Beginning Chain 2 does not count as a stitch. (crochet)
Special stitches: knit stitch/waistcoat stitch (crochet)
You may need to use the magic loop method as the stitches will be quite stretched around the circular needles. (knit)
Abbreviations (US terms):
Ch = chain, sc = single crochet, st = stitch(es), k1 = knit one
Dimensions:
Crochet pumpkin – 7” in diameter
Knit pumpkin – 5” in diameter
