You’ll find big squishy pumpkins, little pumpkins to sit on the table or mantelpiece, and pumpkin-inspired patterns for hats, bags, and toys.

4. Seed Stitch Pumpkin Knitting Pattern by Gina Michele
Seed stitch gets its name from the texture of the knitted fabric because the little purl bumps look like scattered seeds. Seed stitch consists of single knits and purls that alternate both horizontally and vertically.
These pumpkins are knit on straight needles using knit and purl stitches. The pumpkin shape is created by running yarn through the center and around the sides to create ridges. Finally, yarn is threaded through the top of the pumpkin and braided to create a cute stem.
