Shaping the Pumpkin
Using an extra piece of orange yarn, insert your needle through the MR.
Thread out of a space in R15 (under the head).
Insert your needle back into the MR.
Thread out of a different space in R15.
Pull tight to create one section of the pumpkin.
Repeat these steps as many times as you’d like to shape your pumpkin.
After the last section is shaped, thread out of a different space in R15. Insert your needle 1 stitch over from where you came out, then pull through the MR so both ends of your yarn are coming out of the MR.
Pull tight again to finish shaping the pumpkin.
Tie yarn ends together, and hide inside the body.
Finishing Touches
Embroider face on the cream yarn.
Eyes should be approximately 2 stitches wide on R18.
Mouth should be centered between eyes, approximately 4-5 stitches wide on R16.
Add a Jack-o-lantern face on the pumpkin if desired.
