Children's Pumpkin Hat Knitting Pattern PDF Halloween DK Premature - Age 8 Worked Flat Download

Knit an adorable pumpkin hat for babies and children with this digital knitting pattern, available in eight sizes from a tiny premature baby through to eight years.

The hat features a ribbed pumpkin-style body in orange, a shaped green crown and stem, and two curly knitted tendrils at the top. It is perfect for autumn outings, Halloween celebrations, pumpkin-patch visits, seasonal photographs or simply keeping little heads warm.

Worked flat on straight knitting needles using DK yarn, the hat is shaped with simple decreases before being sewn together. The textured vertical sections create the distinctive ridged appearance of a pumpkin without needing cable needles.

This pattern is suitable for knitters who are comfortable with knit and purl stitches, colour changes, decreasing, shaping and sewing a simple seam.
