Thread yarn through remaining stitches to bind off tightly, leaving a

long end to sew row ends, you can continue to seam bodice and

skirt at this point remembering to stuff BODICE and HEAD only.

Fold along picot row,  You should find that the  “cast on edge of

pumpkin” and the “inner waist insert bind off stitches” align ABOVE

each other, Sew these together with MC. (I used 4 stay stitches but

you can use as many as you feel you need to secure them together)

    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.

Mouth is placed one row below the nose and  one over stitch

is used in peach or a light pink colour wool.
