Fall Felting
Fall and felting just seem to go together, so when I saw several different felted pumpkins on Ravelry I just had to try and make one! For the pumpkin itself I used the Miniature Felted Pumpkin Pattern from Wool Windings. I followed the pattern exactly, but for some reason I could not get my stitch count to match the pattern. I'm not sure if it was something that I was doing wrong or if it is a pattern error, but either way it worked out just fine. For the stem I wanted something a little more like these that I found on Knitty.com. I modified the stem pattern a bit by using smaller needles and leaving out a few rows, so it would fit my pumpkin. I am really happy with how the finished pumpkin turned out. Now I think I need to make some felted acorns and felted leaves to go along with it!
