| Jack be Little Pumpkin from Sitting Tree Blog |
In search of a free knitting pattern for little pumpkins I came across these two at The Sittingtree blog and one at Natural Suburbia and thought I'd share them with you.
As I haven't knitted one (yet) I have included pictures from both blogs; aren't they cute? I have some orange wool left over from my granny stripe blanket that I have just for this project.

Free Knitting Pattern: Jack Be Little
Pumpkin (taken from Sittingtree Blog)
Materials:
A few scrap yards of worsted weight wool
Size 4 double pointed knitting needles
Wool fleece for filling
Darning needle
Finished Measurements: about 3" in diameter.
Instructions
CO 36 sts. leaving a 12" tail.
Divide onto three needles and join, being
careful not to twist.
*K5, P1 Repeat from * around until piece
measures 3" long.
Break off yarn leaving a 12" tail and using
darning needl e, feed it through all the stitches. Pull tight and then skim the
tail through again for extra durability. Secure the end with a knot.
Turn the whole thing inside out. {You could P5,
K1 but I loathe purling. Your choice.}
On the open end, thread the darning needle using
the tail and weave it in and out around the edge.
Fill the pumpkin with a sufficient amount of
wool and pull tight. Make a little knot to keep it in place. Now feed the tail
up through the middle and out the top hole. Tie the two tails together until it
resembles a pumpkin! You can hide the tails by pulling them into the
middle.
For the stem, pick up and knit 4 stitches on the
top. Knit 3/4" of i cord. Bind off and darn in ends.
