This knitting tutorial shows you how to knit a 3D garter stitch pumpkin ornament, complete with a spiral on top! I walk you through all of the techniques, including kfbf increases, k2tog decreases, mattress stitch seaming, and much more.
This spherical ball shape is actually knit flat using straight needles, and it's formed from 2 halves seamed together.
A fun ornament to make for Fall/Autumn or Halloween.
This project is suitable for ambitious beginners and beyond.
I hope you enjoy this video :)
DK yarn, 4.5 mm needles. This pattern is knit flat with straight needles.
P.S. The pattern for the wider pumpkin is coming soon, sorry for the wait!
