Let's decorate that pumpkin!

To add to the pumpkin, it needs something on the top

Maybe a leaf??????

This little pumpkin doesn't need a huge leaf although the ones growing in the fields may argue that.

I worked out the instructions......finally.  The knitting is easy and can be done very quickly.  I knitted three in one afternoon.

Here you go and you can download the instructions

down to the very last one that says PRINT.

There you go your pattern.

I used Patons Canadiana, and the colour is IVY.  There are a few to choose from in the green line.  

I would have copied and pasted the pattern here, but it comes up rather strange and believe me I had enough trouble writing up this pattern.  

If you knit larger pumpkins -- which I have done, you could make larger leaves.  Just cast on more stitches until you have 17 would be my guess.....and then cast off following the leaf instructions.

IF you leave a long enough tail at the beginning and after making the loop, you can secure the leaf to the pumpkin.  Easily done.  Just go through the knitting and the stuffing a few times and cut the remainder of the yarn.  

Enjoy.  It is the colourful season of the year.  

If you prefer to crochet a leaf, here's a link for your.

I didn't look for a fabric leaf because I don't know as I would like that.  Personal preference.
