Pumpkins are one of my most favorite things about Autumn but sadly the don’t last the whole season through. This life-sized cozy chunky knit pumpkin will stay with you through the years bringing autumn’s splendor into your home. They also make great play pumpkins for children.

This pattern knits up fast allowing you to fill your home with their coziness within days. You can easily adjust the size of your pumpkin by using smaller needles, knitting in less height and/or lighter weight yarn. You could even needle felt a Jack O’ Lantern face on to it for Halloween. The possibilities are endless!

Finished pumpkin is about 9” tall including stem and 38” in circumference. Of course, how much stuffing you add can change the overall size.
