This pattern is for a small (approximately 4” x 6”) pumpkin.

I used Queensland Falkland Chunky in colorway Ivory.

Gauge is not important for this pattern. If you feel that your fabric is loose and open (or you are generally a very loose knitter), consider going down a needle size for a tighter weave. The main thing is that you want a tight weave so that the polyfil does not show through the fabric when the pumpkin is stuffed. :)
