F.o.
To get the perfect pumpkin shape, the sections are wrapped around the outside with yarn.
Take a tapestry needle with strong thread in the tone of yarn (in two threads) 1.5 m (59″) long.
Separation points are decreases (above) and increases (below).
Are some instructions missing at the end? Dont see anything explaining how the strands are attached to shape the sections. Thanks for great pattern!
I googled it and it turns out the blossom end goes at the bottom of the pumpkin
What is the blossom end?
More instructions on attaching the blossom end, stem and tendril would be very helpful!
I don’t understand how to make the scrunch
There is a link a little below the end of the written instructions. Look for Next Story. Ckick on the link for “Small crochet pumpkin free pattern” . That pattern has more details…
With YarnArt Jeans yarn and 2.5 mm crochet hook:
Make 13 ch.
R 1: From the 2nd ch from hook: 12 sc, 1 turning chain
R 2-3: BLO 12 sc, 1 turning chain
R 4: BLO 12 sc
F.o. and leave a long tail for sewing.
Sew edges together to make it a tube.
Sew the stem to the pumpkin top
My guess is the blossom end is to go on the bottom (I didn’t do that bit), also I didn’t fasten off the stem, and just made the tendril still attached. Big fan of not sewing unless I have to! Lovely pattern and great result, easy to make in an evening. Going to make some more in different colours. I used a Yarnsmiths chunky chenille and 4.5mm hook. Used up most of the skein
