Pattern

Starting with MC, ch 21 (29, 31) sts. Turn.

Rows

Row 1: HDC in 2nd ch from hook and HDC across. Turn [20 (28, 30) sts]

Repeat row 2 for a total of 16 (18, 16) rows.

Fold rectangle in half, start end to finished end. Slip stitch seam together. Leave a long tail for finishing and bind off.

Use the tail and a running stitch to close the bottom of the pumpkin. Turn pumpkin right side out and stuff to desired plumpness. Use a small length of yarn and a running stitch to close the top of the pumpkin (don't worry if it is a little "messy" as it will be covered by the stem).

• Rnd 1: 2sc in each st around
• Rnd 2: Sc around in back loops only
• Rnd 3: Sc around
• Rnd 4: In front loops only, *2sc in sc, sc in next. Repeat from * to end of round (9 sts).
