When the crisp air of fall moves in, and we bundle up with our favorite sweaters for long walks through rustling leaves, down rows of apple trees, or through pumpkin patches in search for the great pumpkin, one thing is certain, somehow a cabled sweater just seems cozier. That's why we decided to show you how to make one of our October favorites, an Easy Cable Knit Pumpkin. 



In this post, we show you know to knit a pumpkin with an easy cable pattern. The cable mimics the ridges found in a pumpkin and has a short increase and decrease at either end to prevent cable flair and to make it easier to close on the top and bottom. If you've never cabled before but have always wanted to, then this is a great project to learn on.



We recommend that when you stuff the pumpkin, lean towards over stuffing the pumpkin. We found that after stuffing ours, it could use a bit more to fill out some flat spots. This is a great part of using a cinnamon stick stem, we simply removed the cinnamon sticks and worked in more polyfill.

HOW TO FINISH A PUMPKIN


Finishing the Top and Bottom


Thread a yarn needle with tail or a remaining piece of yarn and weave through each stitch around the top, pulling the yarn tightly to close the circle.


Close any holes that may occur and if desired sew an x about 2-4 inches long over closure to increase stability.  


Stuff your pumpkin with Polyfil


Repeat at the other end in the same manner making sure to leave a space in the center for the cinnamon stick for the stem.
