Make a cozy autumn decor in just a few hours! This beginner-friendly knitting pattern uses about 12 g of yarn and 2.25 mm needles. It’s a speedy project, perfect for those cozy autumn afternoons.

Yarn: ~12 g fingering/sock-weight yarn in orange or any pumpkin-y shade.

Needles: 2.25 mm (US 1) for small circumference in the round (DPNs or 80 cm / 32” circular for magic loop)

Notions: stitch marker, tapestry needle, fiberfill/cotton wool, small wooden stick (stem).

Gauge: 30 sts × 42 rows = 10 × 10 cm (4 × 4”) in stockinette, lightly blocked.

Tension is not critical for this project. Work firmly so the stuffing doesn’t show. The exact gauge only affects the final size.

Finished size: about 6–7 cm (2½–2¾“) diameter × 4–5 cm (1½–2”) tall, depending on gauge and stuffing.
