Materials needed
• 4 double-pointed needles size US 6 (4mm).
• Melange yarn for big pumpkin. I used Nako Vals /100% akrylic; 100 gr – 240 mt./ Weight: Worsted (9 wpi). 3 theads held together.
• Yellow, Green, and orange colored yarns for pumpkins. I used Nako Sport Wool ( 25% Wool, 75% Acrylic; 100gr = 120m ). Weight: Bulky (7 wpi)
• Yarn needle
• Stitch marker
• Toy stuffing

All rows are worked in the round, this helps avoid ugly seams .
