This is a knitting pattern PDF designed by GrayBearAkswokrat—it’s not a finished toy, but instructions for creating one yourself. The finished doll measures about 12 cm (≈5 inches) tall and is worked flat on two single-pointed knitting needles, followed by seaming. The pattern is available in English only, and it doesn’t include a pattern for a sweater or clothing instructions. The design is intended strictly for personal use. You may sell a finished item if you contact the designer (GrayBearAkswokrat) first.
The head and body are knitted flat, then assembled afterward—it’s a compact knit perfect for small-scale soft toys. Arms are created using I‑cord, giving them clean, rounded shapes. Facial features (eyes, mouth) may be embroidered or added with buttons or safety eyes, depending on your preference. Yarn usage is minimal—a small amount of orange for the head, and neutral tones for the body. I‑cord or contrasting yarn can be used for the stem.
This knitting pattern is best suited for intermediate knitters, since you’ll be working in the round on flat pieces and using techniques like kfb increases, k2tog decreases, and sewing up seams. Although small in size, the project is detailed enough to be satisfying, offering practice with shaping and finishing—it’s a cute handmade decoration or gift especially around Halloween or autumn.
If you're looking for a fun, small-scale knitting project this Pumpkin Head Doll is a sweet choice. At around five inches tall, it’s built to be both approachable and fun. While you won’t get clothing included, you can customize tiny accessories or knit your own additions!
