Fall is here! Pumpkin EVERYTHING! 

Just kidding, but a few pumpkins are needed around the house so I grabbed some yarn and got to work.

I battled with a few patterns I found online but ultimately ended up making my own. I adjusted the hook size to affect the size of the pumpkin. Otherwise, just follow the pattern written.

Fasten off with a long tail for creating the lines of the pumpkin.

Stuff the pumpkin. Thread yarn onto the needle and wrap the yarn over and through the middle of the pumpkin into 8 equal sections. Knot the yarn as needed to hold the shape. With 8 equal sections, knot yarn, cut and took end into the pumpkin. Stick the cinnamon stick into the middle hole of the pumpkin. Use hot glue if needed. 

Supervisor #2 had to inspect the work this time. She approves!

And just for giggles I made a knitted pumpkin as well. The pattern can be found over at Mama in a Stitch
