For small pumpkin: cast on 14 ch, start crocheting in the second stitch from the hook: 12 hdc.
Large Pumpkin, from round 3 onwards, turn all rounds with 2 ch.
1:23 ch (23)
2: Start crocheting in the second stitch from the hook, 21 hdc (21)
3: 21 hdc in blo (21)
Continue crocheting as in round 3 until you can fold the pumpkin like the pictures below:
To make sure that you have crocheted long enough, do as follows:
Fold one corner down towards the long side and then fold to the other short side.
If the triangle comes edge with the other short side, you have crocheted enough rounds.
Fold the short sides towards each other and crochet together with slip stitches and cut the yarn with about 120 cm left.
Then sew a few stitches at the top of the pumpkin.
Start and where you crocheted the short sides together, pull tight. Then sew the rest of the hole together with a few stitches.
Insert the needle in the middle to the other short side, sew around this side as well.
Fill with fiber filling.
Pull tight and sew a few stitches but leave a small hole where the stick will be inserted later. Insert the needle through the pumpkin and pull tight. Sew a few stitches through the pumpkin and move the thread around, pulling tight to give the pumpkin its shape. Then secure the thread at the bottom.
For example, press a scissor or a thicker hook into the hole at the top of the pumpkin to make it easier to push a stick or cinnamon stick down.
