PATTERN & SIZING NOTES:

• This Tiva Chunky Crochet Pumpkin, is made as one continuous piece, seamed together, then one end is cinched/closed, it is stuffed, then the top end is cinched/closed. At this point you can run a length of yarn through the center of the pumpkin to give it a more curved in and natural look, and finish it off with a twig or cinnamon stick for the stem.
• You must be familiar with working in the back bump, working in the 3rd loop of HDC and working a TC in addition to SC.
• The SC’s after working a TC must be pulled quite tight in order to make the TC pop out like a little bobble. If you don’t pull the SC’s after a TC tight enough, they won’t pop out.
• This pattern is a 4 row repeat for all sizes.
• There are 3 sizes available in this pattern (S, M, L)
• Leave a long tail on your foundation chain to cinch the pumpkin closed at the end. Leave an even long tail at the end of the panel to seam the piece together and also to cinch the other end closed.
• Turning chains do NOT count as a stitch.
• Stitch count for each round will be indicated in parentheses ( ) at the end of the row
