During the course, each participant will make at least three colorful knitted pumpkins. We will start with a reminder on the basics of casting on, knitting, purling and increasing/decreasing stitches. Our first pumpkin will be made from a basic knitted rectangle, and we will progress through the four weeks to knitting stems, working in the round, and adding cables. There will be plenty of time for showcasing your individual creativity and socializing as we create.

These pumpkins are remarkably easy to make, so all skill levels are welcome. The only requirement is to be proficient with basic knitting skills (i.e., casting on and knitting/purling). Participants will get to choose and purchase the base yarn for their pumpkins and will need to come to class with appropriately sized knitting needles. Detailed instructions regarding supplies will be emailed to all participants a few weeks prior to the start of the course. Participants will be provided with patterns, stuffing and yarn for stems and veins.
