One Bright Spot!

One Bright Spot is a collaboration of family inspired papercrafting design between twin sisters. Jen can get caught up in a mess of paint, distressing, and ephemera. Rebecca keeps the two grounded with her cheerful colors, clean lines, & beautiful cards. One Bright Spot was started in memory of their grandparents Renee and Sydney, who grew-up and met in England, came to America on the Queen Mary, and raised their family in Santa Barbara, California.

One Bright Spot specializes in handmade embellishments, journaling blocks, and custom orders – perfect for scrapbooking and card making! Their product has recently been featured in The Scarlet Lime scrapbooking kits. The sisters at One Bright Spot, know the heart of scrapbooking isn’t about all of the fancy paper, buttons, and glitter – it’s really all about the story you have to tell. They want to help you document that one bright spot, that memorable moment in your life.

Over the years I have shared a lot of pumpkin knitting patterns, and I’ve knit and crocheted a lot of pumpkins myself. But it feels like there are always more fun things to try with knit pumpkins, so this year I wanted to look a little more beyond basic stockinette or ribbed pumpkins and share some pumpkin patterns with cables, bobbles and colorwork.

In the cable collection we’ve got these cute little basic cable and ribbed pumpkins from Elly Bear Knits. There are two sizes that make a wide, flat pumpkin and a taller round pumpkin. Both are worked in the round as a tube that’s cinched top and bottom when you’re done, and they use bulky weight yarn.

Another cute cable pumpkin knitting pattern comes from Gray Bear Akswokrat. This one is knit flat and it looks like a chunky yarn but you could use other weights to make pumpkins of different sizes. This one also has an I-cord stem and uses yarn to cinch up the sections of the pumpkin, giving it a more natural look.

Add some bobbles to your pumpkins with this design from Autumn Shelter Makes. Also worked in the round in a tube, it features a repeating pattern of bobbles and uses yarn wrapped around the outside to make segments. This one looks like worsted weight yarn to me.

Of course there’s nothing that says your pumpkin has to be a single color, so let’s throw in some colorwork. I love the look of the Cozy Fall Pumpkin knitting pattern from South Stitch Girls. The little leather loop adds a rustic touch but you could also just add a stick. These pumpkins have five colorwork options and are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round.

There’s also the Autumn Fair Isle Trio pumpkins pattern from Equestriann Style, which has three different sizes of pumpkins with four colorwork designs. They are worked in super bulky yarn in the round and look good with high contrast or more muted color combinations.
