Knitted Mini Pumpkins
Knitted Mini Pumpkins
**super quick and easy Halloween knitting project!**
(suitable for any child with basic knitting skills)
What you need:
– 4mm knitting needles
– Orange wool
– Green wool
– Black wool or black embroidery thread
– Googly eyes
What you do:
– cast on 10 (small), 12(medium) or 14 (large) stitches using orange wool
– garter stitch 35, 40 or 45 rows
– cast off
To make up:
– sew the cast on and cast off edges together
– gather one set of row ends by passing a darning needle through the loops at the end of each row, pull tightly and secure
– turn right side out
– stuff (I usually use in stuffing from an old pillow or cotton wool if I have no stuffing!)
– gather the row ends in the same way as above and pull tight
– instead of securing and fastening off, pass the needle and yarn through the centre of the pumpkin, pull tightly and a indent forms, secure tightly to create pumpkin shape.
– using black wool, sew a zig zag mouth
– for the stalks, cast on 4 stitches in green, garter stitch 3 rows and cast off, sew the edges together and attach to each pumpkin
– glue on googly eyes!
Have fun!

Hi, I’m Ciara — writer, homemaker, and the heart behind Our Little House in the Country. I share slow, seasonal living from our cozy corner of the Irish countryside, where life is a little messy, a little magical, and deeply real. Whether it’s a teen-friendly recipe, a lived-in home moment, or a reminder to let go of perfection, this space is about embracing the everyday and finding joy in what’s already here. Come in, kick off your shoes, and stay a while — the kettle’s always on.

These are lovely! I’m not a great knitter but I think that even I could manage these!
