This pattern is perfect for those looking to create a fun Halloween decoration without the complexity of larger projects.

Do not finish off. CH 8, SL ST in the 2nd CH from the hook and in the next 3 CH. Finish off, cut yarn leaving a long tail.
Pull the stem through the center of the circle. (See pictures on page 4.)
Seaming:
Fold your rectangle to line up the two shorter edges and SL ST them together. Fasten off leaving a long tail.
Turn your piece right side out, so the slip stitched seam is on the inside.
Using the tapestry needle, seam the open part by weaving your needle in and out along the SC stitches.
Gather tightly, fasten off, cut yarn.
Stuff the pumpkin (do not overstuff).
Gather the top with the thread the same way as the bottom.
Pull the yarn tight. With the needle go back and forth from top to bottom a few times, so you get the desired pumpkin shape. Weave on the stem and enjoy your cute little pumpkin!
