Absolutely wonderful video! You addressed every question in advance, thus making this project SO much easier for me. My pumpkin looks great! Can’t wait to make more! Thank you!
Loved your tutorial...am already knitting my second pumpkin. Hardly takes any time at all...and your instructions are so easy to follow. Thank you, thank you!😃
Thank you for clear easy to follow instructions, I Can’t wait to make one. I also have a really weird green and gold yarn that I never knew what to do with, I may make a pumpkin in this way with it.
@@RokoleeDIY I have made 9 pumpkins now, and I used the weird yarn (which is actually green and silver not gold 😂) as stalks. My friend saw a picture of the first 4 pumpkins I made and she fell in love with them. I then made 3 smaller ones and uploaded a picture of the 7 together and she’s nabbed them too! Now I have 2 left so I need to make more. Lol 😂
I made them in DK and they were soooo cute. I’m going to do more and make a buntin. Happy knitting 🧶 and Halloween 🎃 EDIT: I did a bind off instead of the running stitch as they were obviously smaller and my middle aged eyes were not playing ball 🤍
Im self teaching, and just learning, and I was wondering how long i have to make the other piece of yarn before i start cast ons? The piece not connected to the skin.. I keep running out before I make 42 cast Ons. I'm probably not making any sense. Ugg
Hi! I think you're talking about the long tail cast on I do at the beginning? I talk a little bit about how to estimate how much yarn you'll need here: ua-cam.com/video/ZjmNuqqfFx0/v-deo.html
What would you suggest for an Worsted or Aran weight yarn? With bigger yarn less stitches are needed to create the ribbing width and with smaller more stitches would be needed to obtain that same width. Is working on a multiple of 4 plus 2 still feasible?
If you knit the exact same pattern in a lighterweight yarn - e.g. worsted instead of chunky - you'll end up with the same pumpkin but smaller. But if you want it to be the same size as the one in my video, you may need to do a little experiment. I would suggest you make a swatch of 3x3 rib to see if you like the look of that. If you do 2x2 rib (like in the video) in worsted yarn, the ribs will of course be thinner so it really depends on what look you want. For 3x3 ribbing you would cast on a multiple of 6 stitches, plus 3. Then row 1 would be: k3, * p3, k3 Repeat from * Then the following rows you'll just be knitting the knits and purling the purls. You may even want 4x4 ribbing, and for that you would cast on a multiple of 8 stitches, plus 4. Then: k4, *p4, k4 Repeat from * Knit the knits and purl the purls for the remaining rows. Basically, decide what kind of ribbing you like the look of, then knit a rectangle that looks to be about the same size as the one I made, and you should be good! Hope that helps
I've tried this about 6 or 7 times now, I'm casting on, k2 p2, moving the thread behind/infront each time, but I'm not getting any ribbing, where am I going wrong
Only thing I can think is either you've cast on the wrong multiple of stitches in the first place, or you're circular knitting not flat knitting? Ribbing is created when you knit the knits and purl the purls, so as long as you're doing that it will work :)
I have a question . . .after I've done my 17th row the working thread and the cast-on thread are on opposite ends. Watching your video it looks like they're on the same end. I can't see that it matters but I was just curious. Thanks.
Since the ribbing is reversible it doesn't matter, but if it bothers you, you can always just do an extra row somewhere. It's a pretty forgiving pattern :)
I’m using an rusty orange yarn. Because its darker than yarn you used, would you use a smaller needle due to the stuffing showing? What needle would you suggest and how many stitches should I cast on?
I would knit a swatch of ribbing in your yarn with a needle size a couple of sizes smaller than mine. I would then put stuffing behind it to see if it's hidden enough for you. If not, go down more sizes and re-swatch. Once you find the best needle size, you can then measure that swatch and see how many stitches and rows you have per inch. From there, you can work out how many stitches you need to get the pumpkin size you want. You may want to do 3x3 or 4x4 ribbing instead with a smaller needle to get the wide bands of ribbing still, as 2x2 ribbing in smaller stitches will obviously result in narrower bands. Hope that helps!
Votre citrouille est sympa, votre tuto est agréable mais, j'aimerais connaître le nombre de tailles et de rangs pour que je puisse adapter à la taille de ma laine, En vous remerciant de votre réponse Tine 🇨🇵
Salut! En ce qui concerne les détails, j'utilise des aiguilles de 8 mm, du gros fil, j'ai monté 42 mailles, tricoté 17 rangs et le rectangle fini était d'env. 17 "x 7" lorsqu'il est posé à plat :) // Hi! In terms of the details, I'm using 8mm needles, chunky yarn, I cast on 42 stitches, knit 17 rows, and the finished rectangle was approx. 17" x 7" when laid flat :)
This is a game changer. I've made over 100 knitted pumpkins using various patterns. This is THE BEST method for completing the pumpkin s!!! Thanks.
Aw wow thank you! Glad you liked it :)
Best knit Pumpkin tutorial on UA-cam, and I have made a bunch!
Brilliant! So glad it worked well for you :)
Very good tutorial! I've already made a cool little pumpkin. Thank you so much!
Thanks! I used cinnamon sticks for the stems which worked perfectly. Going to knit one of these for my coworkers this fall.
Awesome! Glad you liked the pattern
perfection. No need to complicate things!
Aw thanks, glad you liked it :)
I’m going to use this simple pattern with my students
Excellent :D
Adorable! I think I will definitely make a family of these! I appreciate that it uses only basic skills. Can't wait to see more!
Thank you! A family of them would be cute :)
Thank you so much for this pattern.😊
You’re welcome 😊
This is the best tutorial I've seen for knitting a pumpkin. I prefer flat knitting to circular knitting. Thank you.
Aw thanks, glad you like it!
Thank you for the tutorial!! Just finished my very first pumpkin and it’s beautiful thanks to you
Aw brilliant! Glad you enjoyed the project :)
Thank you!!! I can't knit in the round so this was really helpful! Mine turned out really cute

@@Diddydoos83 OMG you are a prolific pumpkin-knitter! You'll have to hide a few so you can keep some for yourself ;)
@@RokoleeDIY I definitely will. They are so cute. Thank you for the tutorial, I’ll be looking out for more great stuff to make ☺️ 💕
@@Diddydoos83 :D
Thank you. That was easy as I’m a beginner knitter
Excellent :D Thanks for watching!

@@beverleydabell3241 Brilliant! So glad the pattern worked well for you :D Happy knitting!
this is brilliant! definitely good for those “what was I thinking?” weird coloured skeins in our stashes 🥴 thanks and much love ❤️
You’re welcome 😊Happy knnitting!
Brilliant pattern, a great afternoon project knit thank you for sharing.
Thank you! 😊 Glad you like it
Glad you used just the normal needles as l can't get on with any other s
Do you mean' straight needles? Yes you can use those as long as all of the stitches fit on the needles :)
I made them in DK and they were soooo cute. I’m going to do more and make a buntin.
Happy knitting 🧶 and Halloween 🎃
EDIT: I did a bind off instead of the running stitch as they were obviously smaller and my middle aged eyes were not playing ball 🤍
Aw little pumpkins as bunting sounds very cute! Happy Halloween :)
This video is perfect and looks so easy to make! Thank you!!!!
Aw thanks :D Happy knitting!
Very good instructions. Thanks

Great video ! Can't wait to start. Approximately what is the size around ?
I've just measured mine and it's approx. 16" around the circumference :)
