Thanks for this! Finally truly easy pumpkin a child can knit too. I love it that there is no talking as well.

[@kittymervine6115]

thank you, so many other patterns are so complex. I like some knitting patterns that are "do and watch tv, or even chat, or even in the car....." And the finished product is so lovely and a great gift. I've been sending a to of fun gifts out as I haven't been able to visit my friends. This is SUPER LIGHT WEIGHT, so low cost and much happiness I am sure upon receiving these pumpkins! I'm ready to start, and why stick to orange?? Looking in my scrap pile now!

I'm so glad you liked the video!

Just came by your very informative and really clear tutorial, I will have a go at making the pumpkin and thank you for taking the time to spread your talent to others.

[@lindawalsh9502]

This is just what I was looking for! Thank you!

[@pattyspring4410]

Oh my gosh this is such a great tutorial! So easy to follow and quick, and I was hoping to find one on straight needles! The circulars was getting too confusing. Thanks so much!

[@denisedubois5127]

Thank you Gina fall is coming. This is my project

[@JoanGay-u5h]

Are you using size 8 needles?

[@pamburkhalter1884]

Such a cool pattern!!

[@GinaMichele]

Thank you!

[@Gwen-s7n]

Thanks for this tutorial. I love making these but I was just wondering, what size needles and yarn did you use?

[@ElizaDay-s9b]

I was wondering how to make bigger pumpkins, do I double the stitches and length?

[@moirabirch1633]

This is just what I’m looking for. Please could you tell me the weight of wool & needle size (uk) Thank you.

[@barbaraerbe3926]

Can you use any size yarn and needles?

[@alisha4191]

Yes you can but it would be more helpful if she gave us gauge

[@GinaMichele]

Yes, you can use any weight yarn with the corresponding needles. 🙂

[@karenlauricella4976]

Thank you 😊

[@phillipawilliams9993]

Such a brilliant tutorial.. very simple but so effective. Can’t wait to start. Are you using chunky yarn? What size needles?

[@GinaMichele]

Thank you! I used #4 worsted weight yarn, and size US 8 needles. You can use a heavier yearn, as long as you go up in needle size.

[@phillipawilliams9993]

I’m in England so not sure about about the thickness of the wool. wool. The needles I guess would be 5.00mm size 6 imperial.

Gina, I was wanting to leave a comment on your website for the Colorblock beanie, but see no place to join your site so I can comment. I don’t see a place to email, either. How can I contact you about the hat pattern?

[@estherbeatrice9387]

really usefull, thanks. i cant stand circular needles

[@GinaMichele]

I'm glad you found the video helpful!

[@Howdy-Personality]

I'm looking forward to making a crochet pumpkin but since i've never, ever crocheted, i am completely new to all the stitches and knots. It is very hard for me to realize those 20 stitches you made and all the purls and rows. Could somebody tell me the name of the stitches and purls in this video, so i could watch a tutorial on how to make them?

[@tansleypotts9486]

You didn't say what the weight of the wool was I used aran as I can't crochet I just knitted the stalk lovely pattern ☺️

[@mariedonato4008]

What size needles and yarn weight did you use for this video. Thank Yo

[@GinaMichele]

Hi! I used US #9 knitting needles and #5 weight yarn.

[@sushiaddct2007]

You can adapt his to any weight yarn and appropriate needle size.the

[@kclarke2971]

Just curious, I've never seen anyone knit with their ring finger. Are you just trying to keep your hands clear in the video? Lovely pumpkin thanks Gina.

[@sushiaddct2007]

That is how I knit and I don't know why.

[@LynnDe666]

Roughly how many rows is 9 inches?

[@Bea._.]

that depends on the thickness of your yarn, the person in this video looks like they followed the 4 knit 1 purl technique 8 times but it may take more for thinner yarn

[@Lilbj48]

I tried knitting this pumpkin…..it looks so different from yours! Mine is the exact same on both sides, yours looks like there is a wrong side and a right side! I knitted 4 rows, then purled 1 row, just like your video…what did I do wrong????

[@Bea._.]

im having the exact same issue! the curve of the purl will alternate every time, have tried three times now!!

[@harrisonmackin8843]

Knit 5 rows and then purl one and you'll get a right side and a wrong side. I just made my pumpkin and saw I had to make this adjustment ☺️

super cute
