Pumpkins in all shapes and forms are in any home decorations. With that in mind, I decided to contribute to this madness with my pumpkin knitted pattern!
Enjoy my free Halloween patterns!
The Pumpkin collection is a Naonuโข original, featuring 2 designs. This modern take on the decor provides the perfect pop of chic to your Halloween table or spread them around the house. Easily customizable, you can make a bunch in no time.
* I offer step-by-step instructions in a pdf form in my shop and Ravelry and suggestions to make these knitted pumpkins with just about any yarn!
