Skill Level and Construction

Rated easy. The 2x2 ribbing is what makes these pumpkins look so realistic: once stuffed and gathered, the natural pull of the rib creates those iconic ridged sections without any extra shaping. If you can knit and purl, you can make these.

Perfect For

Reach for mustard, burnt orange, or cinnamon shades from your stash and make the whole set. A trio in all three sizes makes a charming fall home decor display, and at 50 yards each they work up fast enough to gift a full harvest before the season ends.
