Assembly
• Before sewing the head to the body, make sure to create the dents of the pumpkin as so: first look at your pumpkin man’s head from the top, you should have an oval at the top where R1 is. The face should be located on one of the long sides of the pumpkin. Drag a long piece of orange velvet yarn through the head, and begin making the dents. There should be 5 dents as shown in the diagram on the next page. To create the dents in the head, drag the orange velvet yarn from the top to the bottom of the head, alternating between sewing under and above the Rows. when reaching the bottom of the head, make sure to pull on the yarn to form the dent before moving on to the next dent.
• Start sewing the dents from the coloured dots
shown in the diagram. The front part should be wider than the rest, about 2 stitches from the eyes to each side.
• After you have finished sewing the head dents, drag brown sporting weight yarn through the head and over each of the dents to create lines. Next, place the head onto the body, make sure to align the eyes to the legs properly, and sew them together with the yarn tail from the head.
• Next, position the arms right under the head and sew the to the last row of the body, on both sides of the body.
• Sew the little sprout right on top of the head, on R1.
• Add a little V shaped mouth to the pumpkin (images on the next page) using the black sporting weight yarn. Also add to little lines for blush one row under and one stitch to the side of each eye. If you want, you may also give your pumpkin a little bow.
