- Stuff the pumpkin but keep it soft. If you stuff your pumpkin too firmly you'll have a hard time shaping it later.
r 18: [dec]x6. (6)
- Cut off the yarn and weave in the yarn ends.
- Shape the pumpkin by sewing big stitches through the middle of the pumpkin and around it 5 times. Watch the video tutorial here.
LEAF
- The leaf is crocheted in a spiral with green (B) yarn.
r 1: 2 ch, 6 sc in the second chain from the hook. (6) = magic circle
r 2-3: 6 sc. (6)
r 4: [inc]x6. (12)
r 5 (crochet in front loops only): [skip one st, 5 hdc in the next st, skip one st, sl st]x3.
- Cut off the yarn and save approximately 30 cm so that you have something to attach the leaf to the pumpkin with.
- Weave in the other yarn end.
- Attach the leaf to the top of the pumpkin with a couple of stitches. Use the back loops on row 5 on the leaf when you sew.
- The leaf does not need any stuffing becouse it's so small.
