FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS

1. If you haven’t already, sew the legs to the bottom of the body and the arms to thesides of the body.

2. Use a running stitch across the top edge of the rectangular pumpkin head piece. Pullthe yarn tightly to cinch the top closed. Continue sewing the sides of the pumpkintogether, stitch by stitch. Stuff the pumpkin head but be careful not to stretch thestitches and create gaps. After stuffing, sew the bottom closed. To make thepumpkin shape, insert the yarn needle from the bottom through the top, pullingtightly to create the center indent.

3. Sew the stem to the top of the pumpkin head.4. Sew the pumpkin head to the body.

Enjoy!
