k2tx6 6st
ss 8 rows starting with purl row
Thread yarn through remaining stitches to bind off tightly,
leaving a long end to sew row ends together. Sew row ends together.
VERY Lightly stuff around edges of the pumpkin, it is important not
to over stuff.
Slightly push “green stem” up through cast on edge (see picture)
and sew cast on edge to 2nd or 3rd row from “green stem” this will
hold down the stem so it is close to the head.
Place on top of head/hair (TRY to line up purl stitches on
hat and pumpkin for a better finish) and secure in place
using the cast on edge (of hat) as a reference as to where
to place securing stitches.
If you wish to add a leaf to the stem
