The Pumpkin Patch

This is the second *Pumpkin *I’ve made but I realised the last little man I made this for is now 5! It’s knitting up quite quickly despite the fact that it splits very easily. Anyone else had this problem – it certainly made casting on a challenge. I chose some very rounded and blunt-ended needles, which made it easier. As it’s 100% cotton, I am a little worried it’s going to stretch and bag. We’ll just have to wait and see. You can’t see from the photo but the hood is completely in moss stitch and it really makes this little jumper stand out.
