Shaping the Pumpkin

Thread the yarn tail onto a tapestry needle. Insert the needle through the center of the pumpkin and bring it back out near the starting point.

Wrap the yarn around the pumpkin from the bottom to the top, following the same center line. Repeat this process 5–6 times at evenly spaced points around the pumpkin.

Pull the yarn firmly after each pass to create the pumpkin’s natural ridges. Adjust the tension as needed to keep the ridges even.

Stem

Using green yarn, work in continuous rounds.

Round 1: MR, 4 sc into the ring [4]
Rounds 2–3: sc in each st around [4]

Fasten off, leaving a long yarn tail for sewing.

Sew the stem securely to the top of the pumpkin. Weave in the ends and trim any excess yarn.

Customization Tips

You can change the pumpkin’s color to match your project or use different yarn colors for a group of pumpkins.

For a Halloween version, you can embroider a simple face on the pumpkin to create a small Jack-o’-lantern.
