Are you ready to get addicted to knitting pumpkins?!

Inexpensive + be creative + make your husband happy by getting rid some left-over yarn balls {then you can go buy more yarn!} = perfect fall project!

I used the oh-so-baby-soft Bernat Pipsqueak yarn.

Notes:

Not reversible.
Knit bottom up.
Knit using the stockinette stitch.
Knit in the round with a circular needle.
When knitting in the round you’re always knitting the right side of your work.
For the small pumpkin you’ll need a smaller cable to knit in the round or a longer cable to knit using the magic loop method.
