Assembly
After completing Row 15, fold up the short ends together so the ridges are on the outside, and join with a slip stitch seam using the same yarn used previously. Turn inside out and fasten off the yarn, leaving a 15″ to 17″ yarn tail.
Use a yarn needle to close up the end where the seam ended, weaving in and out every other space around the short end. Continue weaving until you reach the starting point. Pull the yarn tight to close the circle. Fill in the opening with Poly-fil, ensuring not to overstuff the pumpkin.
Weave in the yarn through the short end to close up the top of the pumpkin, leaving a space for the stem. Add the stick as the pumpkin stem using glue. Congratulations, your small crochet pumpkin is now complete!
