Felted Pumpkin Bowl




The other day a woman cam into the shop looking for a pattern for knitting a pumpkin. After she left I went did a search on google to see what I could find. I found a bunch of patterns . I became interrested in a pattern for a felt basket from MagKnits http://magknits.com/Oct06/patterns/1201.htm The store was empty so I thought I would experiment. The pattern used 300gm, three strans of 220 cascade knit on #13 ndls. I thought that seemed like too much yarn. I used one skein of Lambs Pride bulky and #13 ndls and made it a little smaller. I increases the sections of the pumpkin to only 12 stitches in each wedge instead of 14. I made a bowl instead of a basket with handles.
