Materials needed

 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. I
recommend using needles a size or two smaller than the yarn calls for, to
produce a firm fabric. İ used Needles size 2 (3mm)
 White, yellow, orange and green yarns
 Toy stuffing
 Yarn needle
 Stitch holder

All time İ am working in the round. This help avoids the ugly seams .

FİNİSHİNG PUMPKİNS

With doubled thread, start at the place of bottom of pumpkin, leaving a five or six
inch long tail and push the needle thru to the place of the top. Go back thru to the
bottom place taking a small stitch on the outside. Repeat this procedure gently
pulling the thread to tighten the pumpkin with each pass thru, one or two more
times, but do not indent too deeply.
