Don’t you just love this time of year? School will be back in session soon and crisp fall days will soon follow. You know what that means – hoodies, campfires, beanies, mitts, and pumpkin everything! If you haven’t thought about what you want to knit for the season or need some ideas, I’ve got you covered! This would be a great time to start on those pumpkin themed projects so that they will be finished in time to enjoy them this year.
Tiny Pumpkin by Susan B. Anderson
Can it get any cuter than teeny tiny pumpkins?! You can make a ton of these in no time and put them throughout your house for fall decorations, or hand them out to your friends and family. A tiny pumpkin garland?! Yes, please!
Just Peachy Pumpkin Sock Set by Stone Knits
Two adorable stranded colorwork sock patterns are included in this pattern set. Knit from the cuff down, the pattern includes instructions for a short row heel without wraps. The pattern uses the magic loop method, but you can always change the method to whatever it is that you prefer – DPNs or 9 inch circular needles.
Gourdgeous Knit Pumpkins by Adrienne Sullivan – FREE
Gourdgeous, get it?! Gourds! Hahaha! Using super bulky yarn, your house will be decorated with these little guys before you can say, “Boo!” This is a beginner friendly pattern with a very simple construction design. Knit a tube or a rectangle and sew it up into a pumpkin shape. Add on the stem, and you’ve got yourself a handmade pumpkin.
Cozy Buffalo Plaid Pumpkin by Ann Johnston (Equestriann Style)

An advanced beginner pattern (with pattern support offered for beginner knitters), it is a quick knit with super bulky yarn. This pattern is close to free – only $1.25 USD on Ravelry. It includes small, medium, and large sizes. What colors will you use?

Need a sweet pumpkin hat for your little one to wear this fall? This pattern would be perfect for a photo session, pregnancy announcement, photo prop, or simply a hat to keep your sweet baby’s head warm this winter! But it doesn’t stop there – this pattern includes instructions to knit the hat in sizes ranging from 0-3 months all the way up to teen/women and men! Matching hats for the family!
Spooky Pumpkin Mitts by Cat in a Sweater – FREE
I’m shocked that this pattern is available for FREE! What a gift to the community! The stranded colorwork design on these fingerless mitts is lovely. I want to knit myself a pair to enjoy this fall! They’re spooky for sure with pumpkins, skulls, and bats, but adorable all the same!
Pumpkin Spice Mitten by Skeindeer Knits
Mittens with a steaming mug of PSL on them. Need I say more?! I can picture it now – a chilly autumn day, these mittens on, and a toasty mug being cupped in my hands as well. What perfection! Hot drinks and warm mittens. Knit from the bottom up, this is another stranded colorwork pattern knit in the round that also includes a chart. There are several size options included in the pattern, randing from 9-15 cm width all the way up to men’s XL.
Pumpkin Patch Sweater by Meghan Regan (Bad Wolf Girl Studios)
This festive, stranded colorwork DK weight sweater is knit from the top down. The colorwork section is in the yoke portion of the piece, so once you finish that portion, it is smooth sailing and easy TV knitting. The pattern includes instructions to knit it full-length or cropped – your choice!
Do you think you’ll give any of these patterns a try? I’d love to hear what you think! I’m eyeing those Tiny Pumpkins and the Spooky Pumpkin Mitts, although I’m still pretty new when it comes to stranded colorwork.
