Scrap Yarn Pumpkin Knitting Pattern

Scrap Yarn Pumpkin Knitting Pattern- perfect for centerpieces and decorating for autumn!

These little pumpkins are not only a great way to make use of leftover yarn, but they’re also addictive to knit!

This Scrap Yarn Pumpkin Knitting Pattern uses double point needles to knit a ribbed tube. Once you are finished knitting, both ends are gathered. The pumpkin is stuffed with Poly fill and the ends and closed. Running the yarn on the inside of the pumpkin, from one end to another creates the shape. Insert some twigs as the stem and you’re finished!

These knit pumpkins look great on mantles, bookcases or on tables. Happy knitting!
