I couldn’t help it, my lil girl is 4 weeks old today so I celebrated by adding her to our growing pumpkin patch! Then her little brother saw it and wanted one for himself… just with a “happy face!” to wear for Halloween. Easy peasy! This pattern is beginner friendly and works up in a snap for any/all fall festivities. 

UPDATE November 2024:

I hope that you’re enjoying your current knitting projects. It has been such a pleasure sharing my patterns with you and seeing your creativity bring them to life.

After much thought, I have made the difficult decision to no longer offer my patterns for free. This was not an easy choice—designing and sharing these patterns has always been a passion of mine and a way to connect with this amazing community.

However, the time, effort, and resources required to create, test, and perfect each pattern are significant. To continue bringing you high-quality, unique designs and to support the sustainability of my work, I will now be offering my patterns for purchase on Etsy.

I am incredibly grateful for your support over the years. Your kind words, encouragement, and enthusiasm mean so much to me. I hope you’ll continue to enjoy my patterns and support this new chapter.

Please visit my Etsy shop HERE to view and purchase my collection.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of this journey.
