Hello everyone,
This pumpkin is knit in one piece. It’s easy to make it. It uses less than a skein of yarn and it took me less than 2 hours to make it. Written instructions are below. I also added the attachment for the video tutorial down below. Hope you like it!
Materials:
Yarn- https://amzn.to/4dabXf8
Knitting needles: https://amzn.to/4gsZRAG(I did used the interchangeable knitting needle set but this is the same company)
Tapestry needle
Scissors
Small wood or bamboo branch for the stem
I used left over yarns for the filling.
Any category 4/medium worsted weight yarn would work for this project but some of my favorite yarns below that would be great option to make this pumpkin.
YARN SUBSTITUTIONS:
https://amzn.to/4daaMwf I love this cotton yarn for any projects. Lion Brand Pima cotton yarn is one of my favs. It’s a 100 % Pima cotton yarn, extremely soft and lightweight. If you use this yarn, you will see how incredible to crochet or knit with this yarn, it flows very comfortably.
