Christmas ornaments or table decorations

The fairy tale pumpkins can be used as indoor decorations both in fall and for Christmas.
The small ones are also good as hanging Christmas ornaments while the bigger ones are more suited as a table decoration.

Double stranded yarn

I have knitted the pumpkins with double stranded yarn, a light fingering yarn and a more fluffy one, with a shimmering effect. But as long as you keep the gauge you can do as you like.
