Description
This knitted pumpkin door stop brings a touch of autumn to the foot of a door. It takes the shape of a plump, round pumpkin, its body gathered into deep, rounded segments that meet at the top beneath a curved stem. The body is covered in a close, ribbed knit in a rich green, so it looks more like a cosy jumper than something from the vegetable patch, while the stem is a darker brown and yellowish green with a slight sheen and a small ridged collar where it meets the top. It is made of plastic and stands 17cm tall, 22cm wide and 22cm deep.
We like it in a hallway, where doors open and close all day, or holding a living room, bedroom or kitchen door open so the warmth can travel through the house. Its low, round shape sits snugly against the edge of a door, and at 22cm across it is easy to spot underfoot. Because it looks like a decoration rather than a piece of hardware, it suits the autumn months, when wooden floors, wool rugs and a basket of logs make a room feel settled. When the door needs no holding, it sits just as happily on a bench or a deep windowsill, and the green knit makes it a quieter choice than the usual bright orange pumpkin.
The rounded segments are full and even, so it looks neat from every side, and the stem curves over to one side for a natural look. To keep it looking its best, lift off any dust with a soft dry cloth, and keep it clear of wet floors and muddy boots by an outside door. For an easy autumn corner, set it beside the door with a woven rug and a pair of wellies, then move it to a shelf or sideboard among candles and dried leaves when the door can close.
