Knitted Pumpkin Coaster

Knit a cozy pumpkin-shaped coaster with this intermediate pattern! Worked flat on two needles from the bottom up, the pumpkin gets its rounded shape from increases and short rows (wrap & turn), with soft rib lines formed by slipped stitches. The edge is finished with a neat i-cord and topped with a little knitted green stem. A durable, reusable mug rug and hot pad — perfect fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving decor, a lovely handmade gift, and a great project for using up leftover yarn. **Finished size:** 18.5 × 15.5 cm (7.5 × 6 in). **Yarn:** approx. 25–30 g / 0.88–1.06 oz **Needles:** 3.5–4 mm (US 4–6) **Level:** Intermediate **Includes:** row-by-row written instructions, step-by-step photos, 13 video tutorials, materials list, printable PDF.
