Turn those tiny sock yarn leftovers into charming autumn accents with the free mini pumpkin pattern from Classical Songbird Designs. Worked in the round using durable fingering or sock yarn, each miniature gourd finishes at just 8 inches in circumference and 1.5 inches tall.
Sturdy nylon-blend sock yarn gives them great structure that holds up year after year. You knit an attached i-cord for the stem, add a touch of polyfill stuffing, and cinch the ribs to create the classic pumpkin segments. The pattern also lets you add optional little i-cord legs and stitched facial details with black embroidery thread for a whimsical storybook creature look. Tuck them into seasonal wreaths, string a bunch across a rustic twine garland, or scatter them along your bookshelf for easy autumn vibes. Raid your sock yarn basket and knit these sweet mini sock yarn pumpkins for quick stash-busting fall decor!
