I found this darling pumpkin pattern on Ravelry created by Anne Mancine. This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download. Mixing yarns when felting offer you some fun looks. If you are not a member of Ravelry do sign up. They offer many free patterns and projects done by crafters around the world. Anne tells us “The more variety of types of yarn you use, the more fun and “funky” your pumpkin will be. This is the perfect place to use that out-dated novelty yarn that’s been hiding at the bottom of your stash. Why not? When I worked at a yarn shop, the owner asked us all to design pumpkins for our Halloween window display; so technically, this is the first pattern I ever wrote. I have tried to spruce it up, but I fear it still reads like a first pattern.
