✨ Pumpkin Body Pattern

1. Foundation:
   Ch 13 (or adjust length depending on the size of pumpkin you want).
2. Row 1:
   Work 1 sc in the 2nd ch from hook. Continue working sc across. Ch 1, turn.
3. Row 2 onward:
   Work sc in back loops only (BLO) across the row. This creates ribbing.
   Repeat until you have a rectangle long enough to wrap around and form a tube (about 20–22 rows for small pumpkins).
4. Form the Pumpkin Shape:
   • Fold the rectangle in half lengthwise.
   • Use the yarn needle to sew the two short sides together to create a tube.
   • With yarn still attached, weave in and out along the bottom edge of the tube. Pull tightly to close.
5. Stuff & Shape:
   • Turn inside out so seam is hidden.
   • Stuff firmly with fiberfill.
   • Weave the yarn along the top edge and pull tight to close. Secure with stitches.

• Insert through the center top, push through bottom, and pull tightly.
• Wrap yarn around the pumpkin a few times (like making “segments”) to give it a realistic pumpkin shape.
