Gauge was provided but was not really considered when knitting the pumpkins since they are a novelty decorative item. However, that said, if your gauge is off considerably, you could easily run out of yarn before you complete all three pumpkins.

Size 10 circular needles with at least a 32” cord is needed if you plan to use the Magic Loop method to knit your pumpkins. DPNs could just as easily be used, but I personally never use them.

You will also need a darning needle for weaving in ends, fiberfil for stuffing and sticks for the stems. If you can find some with the curly vines they really add a high level of cuteness!
