Pumpkin
Make CH 16.
Crochet the pumpkin in turning rows, making a turning CH at the end of every row.
1 round: 15 SC
2-30 rounds: 15 SC BLO (29 rounds)
Join the 1st and the 30th rounds by working 15 SL ST through both edges of two rounds at one time.
Don’t cut the thread, we will use it to close the opening on the bottom.
31 round: 15 DEC (15 SC)
Continue making decreases until the opening is closed.
Stuff the piece, attach the thread to the top part and close the opening in the same way.
⠀
Divide the pumpkin into 6 equal parts, take a needle with a long thread.
Insert the needle into the piece center on the bottom, leaving a thread tail on the top. Insert the needle into the point, marked with a pin and pull out from the bottom again. Pull tightly.
⠀
Pull all the rest segments in the same way. After the last segment is pulled, the threaded needle is located at the piece bottom. Skip 1-2 mm to return it to the point where we started the needle sculpting, insert the needle and pull it out from the piece top. Tie two thread tails together and hide the knot.
