each round) sc in remaining 24 sts

It should look like this:

Body:

Note: At the end of each row, ch 1 and turn piece. This

goes for body, arm points and tail points.

CH 52

Rows 1-50: SC in each st across. DO NOT FASTEN OFF.

Begin arm points:

Place a stitch marker in the middle of the body piece (I counted 26 sts, then placed a stitch marker on 27
to make sure I didn’t go past it)

Row 51: SC in next 26 sts

Row 52: Work 2 tog, sc in next 22 sts, work 2 tog- 24 sts

Row 53: Work 2 tog, sc in next 20 sts, work 2 tog- 22 sts

Row 54: Work 2 tog, sc in next 18 sts, work 2 tog- 20 sts

Row 55: sc in each st across – 20 sts

Row 56: Work 2 tog, sc in next 16 sts, work 2 tog- 18 sts

Row 57: Work 2 tog, sc in next 14 sts, work 2 tog- 16 sts

Row 58: Work 2 tog, sc in next 12 sts, work 2 tog- 14 sts

Row 59: Work 2 tog, sc in next 10 sts, work 2 tog- 12 sts

Row 60: Work 2 tog, sc in next 8 sts, work 2 tog- 10 sts

Row 61: Work 2 tog, sc in next 6 sts, work 2 tog- 8 sts

Row 62: Work 2 tog, sc in next 4 sts, work 2 tog- 6 sts

Row 63: Work 2 tog, sc in next 2 sts, work 2 tog- 4 sts

Row 64: Work 2 tog, twice – 2 sts

Row 65: Work 2 tog. Fasten off.

Reattach yarn at the stitch marker. Repeat Rows 51-64 for second arm point.

Tail point:
Attach yarn at bottom corner of body.

Row 1-2: sc in each st across – 52 sts

Work each row as follows: Work 2 tog twice, then sc until there are 4 sts remaining in the row, then work
2 tog twice again. Repeat until tail ends in a point.

Note: The tail and arms will curl upward. I like this effect because it
looks “floaty” and not just flat.I have no idea if it can be blocked flat.

It should look like this:

Ears (make 2)
Ch 8

Row 1-34: Sc in each st across

Row 35: Work 2 tog, st 4, work 2 tog – 6 sts

Row 36 Work 2 tog, sc 2. work 2 tog- 4 sts

Row 37-38 Sc in each st across

Row 39: work 2 tog twice- 2 sts

Row 40: Work 2 tog. Fasten off

Pumpkin Nose
Ch 2

Row 1: Make 6 sc in 1st chain.

Row 2: Round 2: Increase 6 times by working 2 sc in each stitch around – 12 sts.

Round 3: *Sc in next st, 2 sc in next st.* Repeat from * to * around – 18 sts.

Row 4-6: Sc in each st around – 18 sts

Round 7: *Sc in next st, work 2 sts together.* Repeat from * to * around – 12 sts.

Stuff nose

Round 8: Work 2 sts together all the way through the round- 6 sts

Decrease until you can close off the nose and fasten off
Eyes (make 2)
Row 1: Make 6 sc in 1st chain.

Row 2: Round 2: Increase 6 times by working 2 sc in each stitch around – 12 sts. Fasten off, leaving long
tail for sewing.
