Pattern: (make 2 circles)

(10 DC stitches)

Round 2: (photo A)
CH 2 and place 2 DC into each stitch around. SS into the top of the beginning DC. Fasten off.

(20 DC stitches)

Assembling:
Place your two circles together with the right sides facing out. Cut a piece of orange yarn and use a yarn needle to seem the two circles together. Making sure to catch both circles, weave the yarn in and out, underneath the tops of the DC stiches. A few stitches before completing the seam, add a bit of stuffing and then finish sewing the last few stitches to close. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Stem: (Photo B)
Join brown yarn with a SS into the top of any DC stitch and CH 16. SS back into the joining SS. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Vine:
With green yarn, CH  12. Into the second CH from your hook, place 1 SS and then SK the next stitch. *Place 1 SS, SK 1 stitch*. Repeat from * to * 3 more times. Place 1 SS into the last CH. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for joining.

Attach vine to the base of the stem a simple knot. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Face:
Cut two small triangles and a mouth shape from the craft felt. Attach to one side of the pumpkin using a dab of fabric glue on each piece.
