Assembly:
First, we’re going to make the bumps on our pumpkin.
-Using a yarn needle and the extra long tail from the pumpkin, bring the needle up through the middle of the pumpkin and out the top. Then bring the yarn in a straight line down the side of the pumpkin and insert it back into the middle of the bottom and then back through the top, pulling tight (but not so tight you snap the yarn). Bring the yarn straight down a few stitches away, insert it in the bottom middle, and bring it back up through the top. You’ve just created your first bump!
Repeat this step to make as many bumps as you want. I usually don't keep track of how many stitches are in each bump, I personally like to make them all slightly different because it looks a little more natural and less uniform.
-When you are done adding as many bumps as you want, tie off and hide your tail, then it’s time to attach the stem and then you are all done!
