MADE WITH HOMBYS
Autumn Pumpkin Pillow & Plush Pumpkin by @chunksbychels
A cable-textured cushion, little orange pumpkins, and one plump garter-stitch pumpkin bring a warm autumn mood to this handmade pairing by @chunksbychels.
The beige cushion combines raised cables with three small orange pumpkin accents. Beside it, a round orange pumpkin with a tall neutral stem repeats the same cozy chenille texture. The two pieces work together without relying on a busy seasonal palette.
The Maker’s Story
Chels shared that this was her first time experimenting with cable stitch on a little throw pillow. She paired that experiment with a double-garter pumpkin and credited the makers whose videos helped with the pumpkin shape and the added pumpkin motifs.

GET THE COLOR STORY
Coordinating Yarn Options
The Khaki & Coffee mixed pack is a coordinating shopping option for the warm beige base and brown details; Orange is suggested for the pumpkin shapes. The maker calls the confirmed HOMBYS shade beige, so these store shade names are visual suggestions rather than a confirmed original kit. The orange yarn brand is not specified.
Planning Your Yarn Amount
The cushion dimensions, insert size, pumpkin diameter, gauge, and amounts used are not supplied. Plan the cushion body, raised accents, pumpkin body, and stem separately using the referenced tutorials and a swatch. An 8-skein pack describes the product being sold; it is not the reported consumption for this project.

YARN PLANNING · REFERENCE ESTIMATE
How much yarn should I prepare?
Quantity status: needs the original pattern.
Shaped, stuffed, wrapped or multi-piece construction cannot be reliably converted from flat area. The original pattern must confirm dimensions, stitch density, piece count and yarn needed in each shade.
| Yarn / color group | Whole-skein planning budget |
|---|---|
| 4 Khaki & 4 Coffee | Pattern-specific quantity required |
| Orange | Pattern-specific quantity required |
Use the original pattern’s yarn weight or yardage for each color, then divide by the yarn length / weight on the product label and round up. Do not assume an 8-skein pack will make every item in a group photo.
Before buying: swatch in the intended stitch, measure the finished swatch and yarn used, then scale to your chosen size. The reference size above is an assumption unless marked maker-reported. These figures do not establish the original finished size or actual yarn used.
