Now we’re going to shape the pumpkin using the tapestry needle and the strong cotton thread.
Make the sections of the pumpkin as follows: go all the way through the center, through the stuffing, to the center of the bottom of the pumpkin. Wrap yarn around outside of pumpkin and then reinsert yarn back through the center of the pumpkin, following the same path. Pull yarn tight to create indentation.
Repeat 5 more times around the pumpkin until you have 6 evenly spaced indentations. Tie off and weave in ends.
