Lil' Pumpkin Hat Knitting

 When fall gets close, everyone goes nuts for pumpkins. Pumpkin Spice, pumpkin decor, and my favorite, pumpkin knitting and crochet projects. I've made quite a few crochet pumpkin beanies, but I wanted to design a knitting pattern for a pumpkin beanie. And since I am obsessed with cables, I could not resist throwing some into the design. This is a good pattern for cable beginners. It is a simple cable, and works up quickly with the thick yarn.

I absolutely love how it turned out! A couple of my test knitters even made the hat in cream, and now I want to as well! This pattern comes in 6 sizes from newborn to adult. Look below for more information on what to expect with purchase of the pattern. 

Materials:

Size 13 (9mm) US needles, 16” circulars and dpn’s (or longer circulars for magic loop)
