Mountaintop Yarn

2026 Mountaintop Pumpkin - Digital Pattern

2026 Mountaintop Pumpkin - Digital Pattern

A quick little fall knit for making soft, squishy pumpkins in your favorite autumn colors.

This pumpkin is worked flat and finished by hand, making it a nice project for knitters who want a decorative fall piece without knitting in the round. The finished pumpkin has a short, plump shape with deep sections and plenty of room to make it your own.

I used roughly half a skein of DK weight yarn for my sample, so this is also a great project for using up extra yarn from your stash.

Make one for a shelf, tuck one into a fall centerpiece, or knit an entire pumpkin patch in different colors and sizes.

Materials Needed

  • DK weight yarn

  • 3.00 mm knitting needles

  • Scissors

  • Tapestry needle

  • Long upholstery needle

  • Fiberfill stuffing

  • Optional cinnamon stick, twig, or faux pumpkin stem

Gauge

6 stitches per inch

Skills Needed

You should be comfortable with:

  • Casting on

  • Knitting and purling

  • Following a repeating stitch pattern

  • Binding off

  • Basic seaming

  • Working a running stitch

  • Stuffing and finishing a small knitted project

  • Weaving in ends

About the Pattern

The pumpkin is knit flat and seamed during finishing, so no double-pointed needles or circular knitting are required.

The pattern includes instructions for knitting, assembling, stuffing, shaping, and finishing your pumpkin.

The size can also be adjusted, so once you make one, you may find yourself with an entire pumpkin patch.

Care Instructions

Care Instructions
Non-superwash wool must always be hand washed in cool water with a mild wool wash and laid flat to dry. Do not machine wash, as it will felt and shrink with heat or agitation.

Superwash yarns can be hand washed in cool water for the best longevity, but they may also be machine washed on a gentle cycle inside a garment bag. Always lay flat to dry.

Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat, as these can damage the fibers.

Blend-Specific Notes
Sock yarns with nylon (such as Snowdrift Select Sock) are more durable and tolerate gentle machine washing, though hand washing will still extend the life of your project.

Glitter yarns with Stellina (such as Gold Glitter and Silver Glitter) should be handled gently; avoid wringing or twisting to protect the sparkle filament.

Bulky yarns (such as Salcantay Bulky) are heavier when wet and should be fully supported while drying flat to prevent stretching.

Hand-Dyed Yarn Notes

Colors may be slightly different than actual product as computer and device monitor settings can alter the color appearance. We do our best to ensure that the yarns appear as they do in real life.

Our yarns are hand-dyed in small batches, so slight variations may occur between skeins. For larger projects, we recommend alternating skeins every few rows to blend color shifts.

While every effort is made to set dye thoroughly, some color transfer may occur on the first wash, especially with highly saturated shades. Wash separately the first time.

Yarn is dyed in limited lots, and colors may vary slightly from batch to batch. Please be sure to purchase enough for your project at once.

Large orders placed together will be dyed in the same session to ensure the closest possible match.
