Knitting Pattern: Jack Be Little Pumpkin


A fall tradition as steadfast as warm buttered bread and steaming hot apple cider on a late September afternoon, is the yearly trip to the local pumpkin patch for oodles of Jack be Little Pumpkins!  {Can you tell I've been immersed in Little House on the Prairie books?}  I adore these little mini pumpkins and thought some wooly Jack Be Little's would be sweet for our own nature table, along with a few for an upcoming Magical Market at my favorite coffee shop.  Enjoy~

    1. You can make it on two needles---just add 2 stitches for the seam and remember to purl the second row stitches. When it's 3 inches long thread the yarn through the stitches on the needle, sew up back seam, draw the stitches on the thread up tight, and follow the instructions for finishing. Voila!

    2. What about using circular needle and magic loop method??

  21. I'd probably still find it easier to make a fabric pumpkin then crave out a pumpkin with a detailed design. It's crazy the type of craved pumpkins some people can make.

  28. I just wanted to say thanks for the awesome and super easy to follow pattern. I am new at knitting, but was able to successfully make my very own Jack Be Little Pumpkin! I also mentioned the pattern and your blog on my blog. Hop over and take a look! (Also, please let me know if it's okay the way the post is.)

  32. Since you now charge for this cute pattern you might want to delete "free".

  33. Here it is March 2017 and the 'free' descriptor is still there to mislead us all who have found our way here via other links calling it free.
    Not much money involved I know, but it still seems like a cheap trick.
