Blessed Pumpkin Instructions
Chain 16 Row 1 (working in back bump): hdc in 2nd chain from hook and in chain across. Turn (15 hdc)
Rows 2-28: Chain 1 (See Notes), blo sc in same stitch, blo exsc in each hdc across, blo sc in last hdc.
Turn (2 blo sc, 13 blo exsc) Fasten off, leaving long enough tail for sewing
Assembly Using the tail, mattress stitch the edge of the first and last rows together and fasten off. Now you have a cylinder shape. Next, using another piece of yarn, weave in and out across the top gaping created by each row around the cylinder. Pull ends tight to close the end and tie off. Now you need to stuff firmly with fiber fill. If you want your pumpkin to be tall and plush add more fiber fill. If you want your pumpkin to be shorter and wider, then just use less fiber fill. Once you have stuffed your pumpkin to your liking, take another strand of yarn and weave in and out around the top of the pumpkin, closing tight and tying off as you did with the bottom. Be sure to leave a bit of a hole at the top for the stem later. Once you have tidied up all your ends, you can add the cinnamon sticks.
I put three sticks together and tied a rope or raffia around them.
