Is this cute or not?I thought it was kind of cute. Maybe I will try it. Here is the pattern:
You can knit this pumpkin using any yarn, any gauge, and any double-pointed needles.
CO 35 stitches. Divide over 3 DPNs. Start knitting in the round. Mark the beginning of the round. Make sure to keep your stitches untwisted.
k4p1 around for 25 rows. Thread yarn tail through stitches on the needles and pull closed.
Stuff with wool roving, batting, etc.
Using your tapestry needle, thread the cast-on tail around the stitches of your cast-on end to cinch the top closed and with your tapestry needle, bring the yarn down through the pumpkin to the base and pull tight. Knot it to the other remaining tail. Weave in the ends. This procedure causes the dent in at the top and bottom.
make a small i-cord stem and attach.

Embroider a face on your pumpkin if you want.
Knit pumpkins in different sizes by changing your number of cast on stitches (always cast on in multiples of 5) and rows (Do about 10 rows less than my number of cast-on stitches). Make your pumpkin with green yarn and a bobble stitch and call it a gourd.
