Materials
Size 4 Worsted Weight Yarn
I used Hobby Lobby I Love this Yarn in White, Burnt Pumpkin, and Sungold.
Stick, Cinnamon stick, or wooden dowel rod for the stem
Stitches (US Terms)
CH- Chain
Sl St- Slip Stitch
BLO- Back Loop Only
Notes
We will be using all 3 colors at once
The starting chain will create the height of your pumpkin, and each row will create the width.
If you want to make a smaller or bigger size pumpkin you absolutely can! A good rule of thumb for this pattern is to double your chain count to find the row count. So if you want a bigger pumpkin you can chain 15 of each color for a total of 45 chains. So you will need 90 rows.

Assembly
Fold your rectangle in half so your two short ends are lined up.
Start at either end (with the white or yellow yarn)
Thread your yarn tail through your yarn needle.
Whip stitch both ends together, stitch for stitch, until you reach your orange section.
Pull your white or yellow yarn off your needle, and thread the orange
Whip stitch your orange section
Pull your orange yarn off your needle, and thread your last color.
Whip stitch it together.
Tie off any loose ends. You do not need to weave them in, because they will be inside your pumpkin!
Take your yellow and white yarn and cut a 12 inch piece of yarn.
Using your yellow yarn, thread through your needle. Tie a double knot at the opposite end of the yarn.
Weave this through the top stitches of your yellow section. Skipping a row, going in through the next. All the way around the top.
Cinch close the opening.
Flip your pumpkin right side out!
Repeat those steps for your white opening.
Add a Stem
Use your hot glue gun to secure a stick, wine cork, cinnamon stick, or wooden dowel to the center top of your pumpkin.
That’s it, friends! I hope you enjoyed this Candy Corn Pumpkin pattern!
