The pattern includes written instructions and charts for knitting in the round small and medium pumpkins (it is not necessary to be able to read charts).

The pumpkin size depends on the yarn, knitting tension and filling density. In order to keep fabric tight enough so that the stuffing won’t show through, use needles smaller than recommended for the yarn.

This information is just for example (tension is not critical for this pattern, you can use any yarn to make these pumpkins):

Gauge: 27 stitches and 40 rows = 10 cm (in pattern)

Yarn: 33-54 meters (36-59 yards) of any DK-weight Yarn
e.g.: Sirdar Snuggly Replay DK (50% Cotton, 50% Acrylic; 50g / 150m)
For stem: few meters of yarn in a different color

Needles (double pointed or circular):
№3 — 3.25mm (US 2½ – 3), depends on your knitting tension

Approximate size of the resulting pumpkin
and how much yarn is needed for it:

Small: d ~ 9cm (3½”), 11 g — 33 m (36 yds)
Medium: d ~ 11.5cm (4½”), 18 g — 54 m (59 yds)
