Assembly

Crochet Pumpkin Body Shaping

To shape the body, thread long tail of yarn into yarn needle.  Flatten the pumpkin body in one hand bringing the yarn around the outside of the pumpkin and put the yarn into the bottom circle of the pumpkin back towards the top.  Pull through tightly to create pressure.  Repeat 5 more times, evenly spaced, for a total of 6 sections.  Tie, maintaining pressure.  Weave in ends.

Crochet Pumpkin Piece Assembly

Using tails, attach leaf and vine to pumpkin body in desired locations, by sewing approximately ½” from the center.  Tie and weave in ends.  

Using tail, attach stem to pumpkin body over center of pumpkin, slightly covering edges of vine and leaf.  Tie and weave in ends.
