This quick and easy knitted pumpkin pattern works well with many different yarn types. Pick a color you like in a weight ranging from worsted weight to bulky weight - scraps work well too! Thicker chunkier yarns make for larger pumpkins. Thinner weights may be chain-plied or held together in multiples to make an equivalent thicker weight yarn.

Do you know how to knit in the round and can make the knit and the purl stitches? This pattern is suitable for adventurous beginners or intermediate knitters who are wanting to make a quick and easy pattern written in approachable terminology.

You’ll need double-pointed needles (or other needles suitable for working small diameters in the round). Pick a size slightly smaller than you’d normally use for knitting with your yarn choice - we want to create a dense fabric.
