Mini ribbede gresskar (Heklet)

The flat-to-flat construction means no fiddly rounds to keep track of, and the cinching still gives that perfect pumpkin shape every time. I made three in an afternoon just adjusting the stitch count for different sizes, and they look fantastic clustered on my dining table.

The cinching technique is pure magic—mine came out perfectly round and ribbed on the first try, and the flat-then-seamed construction made it so forgiving to work up. I’ve already got three sizes lined up on my mantel and they catch the light just right.

Worked this up in one evening while binging a show—the flat-then-seam construction clicks together so fast. Sized one up to a chunky table centerpiece and it held its shape perfectly after cinching. These will be my go-to fall gift for sure.
