Knit a cozy pumpkin-shaped coaster with this intermediate pattern! Worked flat on two needles from the bottom up, the pumpkin gets its rounded shape from increases and short rows (wrap & turn), with soft rib lines formed by slipped stitches. The edge is finished with a neat i-cord and topped with a little knitted green stem.

A durable, reusable mug rug and hot pad — perfect fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving decor, a lovely handmade gift, and a great project for using up leftover yarn.
