Knitted Pumpkin Pattern:
Materials Needed:
Wool needle for sewing up Circular needles 2 double pointed needles Orange yarn for your pumpkin and green for your stem. Fleece for stuffing I have knitted this pumpkin using the magic loop technique.
Pattern:
With circular needles cast on 9 stitches. Round 1: Knit the first round. Round 2: Increase into every stitch in the second round, you will now have 18 stitches. Round 3: Knit 1 round. Round 4: Increase into each stitch in the 4th round, you will now have 36 stitches. Round 5 to 9: Knit Round 10: Knit 2 together all across the round.(18 stitches) Round 11: Knit. Round 12: Knit 2 together all across the round. (9 stitches) Round 13: Knit. Leaving a long thread, break yarn and thread onto a wool needle, thread your wool needle through your stitches, stuff and pull tight. Do not overstuff as this might make your pumpkin look too round, I understuffed my pumpkin and the convolutions of the pumpkin's skin showed up quite nicely. The wool I knitted him in was also a little on the chunky side and handspun and thisworked quitewell:) Once you have closed the top opening of your pumpkin, take your needle, push down through your pumpkin, pull out on the other side and pull tight. This makes a depression on the top of your pumpkin. Sew tightly underneath.
Concave Pumpkin Top
Pick up 2 stitches in the middle of the top of your pumpkin, attach your green thread and knit an I-cord for a stalk.
Sew in all your ends and you are finished, enjoy!!

Oddments of variegated dk wool 4mm circular needle or dpns or 4mm straight needles Sewing up needle Fleece for stuffing
Abbreviations:
kfb: knit into the front and back of the stitch to increase dpns: double pointed needles knit 2 tog: knit 2 stitches together
Pattern:
Cast on 10 stitches and join for knitting in the round with the magic loop or on dpns Round 1: Knit Round 2: kfb into each stitch (20 stitches) Round 3: kfb into each stitch (40 stitches) Rounds 4-15: Knit Round 16: (Knit 1, knit 2 tog) across the round knit 1 stitch on the end (27 stitches) Rounds 17-26: Knit Cast off
Finishing Off:
Hold the top of the cast off edge together flat and sew in and out, closing the top of your cat's head.
Stuff Beans and make him plump! Once you are happy with the firmness, sew around the open base of his body and pull tight to close. Take a needle and wool, sew into the base of Beans, secure the wool and push the needle up through his body and pull it out the top of his head, sew back down again and pull. This is going to make a nice big concave depression that will form his two ears. Once you have sewn back down, pull the needle and wool out the base of the body, pull tight and sew the wool securely onto the knitting, ensuring the depression remains at the top of the head.
With a felting needle and some black and pink fleece, needle felt on 2 eyes and a nose.
Tail:
With 2 dpns (double pointed needles) cast on 5 stitches and knit an i-cord for the tail, I knit mine about 5 inches long and cast off. Sew on the tail at the back of Beans to the side so that it can wrap around his body.
like to add whiskers, just sew some on with a needle and wool in a rug stitch
