  • For the larger pumpkin you will hold 2 strands together or use size 5 yarn.

Baby Pumpkin Pattern made with Lion Brands Cobblestone

Make a magic circle

Round 1: CH 2, make 9 ESC into magic circle, SS to the CH 2. (10)

Round 2: CH 2, make 1 ESC in same ST as CH 2. increase in every stitch, SS to CH 2. (20)

Round 3: CH 2, make 1 ESC in same ST as CH 2. *1 ESC on nextt stitch, increase in next* repeat from *to* (30)

Round 4-11: CH 2, make 1 ESC in every ST around, SS to CH 2. (30)

Leave a long tail to close the top of the pumpkin.

Next steps are the same for both sizes.

Fill your pumpkin and close the top of your pumpkin with your long tail.
close and leave a whole big enough for your cinnamon stick to fit in.
Now with that same strand, pull it through the bottom hole of the pumpkin and come back again to the top. Pull tight to make the bump, repeat the same thing until you have the amount of bumps that you desire. I decided to make this one with 6 bumps but you can do 4, or 5 it is up to you! Weave in the end and cut the strand.

For the stem, I used a cinnamon stick, but you can use whatever you have on hand.
Get your cinnamon stick and put some hot glue on the middle of the pumpkin and stick it in there. You can add twine or a piece of yarn to the cinnamon stick to give it the final touch!

Make sure to tag me on Instagram with all your finished pumpkins! I would love to see them!

Larger pumpkin

Repeat the same steps from the baby pumpkin but using a 7.00 mm hook and 2 strands of worsted yarn held together or size 5 yarn.

This pumpkin was made using 2 strands of worsted yarn at the same time.
