Pumpkin stem: make 1 per pumpkin
Cast on 4 sts using 5mm needles and Yarn B.
Leave a long tail for sewing up.
Rows 1-12 knit.
After each row, slip the stitches back onto the left-hand needle. Carry the yarn at the back of
the work. knit the next row without having turned the stitches. This creates a knitted tube.
Alternatively use 5mm DPN and I-cord 12 rows.
Row 13 C&T. Cut a long tail of yarn approx. 20cm
Thread the yarn through the knitted cord and pull gently to create a curve. Secure with
stitches at the CO base.
MAKING UP INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions apply to both sizes.
Use the long tail at the cast on edge to gather the cast on stitches, then use mattress stitch
to sew the side seam. Stop sewing a few cm’s before the end of the seam, this will allow you
to stuff the pumpkin easily.
Stuff each pumpkin lightly -
Large stuffed circumference 78cm/31”
Small stuffed circumference 58cm/22”
Sew the last section of the side seam and fasten off.
Pull the C&T yarn to close the top, do not fasten the C&T closure yet. Adjust the stuffing to
ensure that the ribbing creates deep gathers at the top of the pumpkin, before sewing the
top closed.
Take a length of matching yarn and secure it in the middle of the cast on gathers of your
pumpkin, pass the needle through the middle of the pumpkin from bottom to top. Pull the
yarn to gently form a pumpkin shape, fasten off the yarn at the base of the pumpkin.
The shaping stitches will slightly flatten the pumpkins. Roll them between your hands to
create plump spheres again.

Pumpkin Stem
Sew the stem into the indent at the top of the pumpkin. By passing the yarn through the
middle to the base of the pumpkin, weave the end of yarn into the pumpkin to secure it.
Enjoy!
