FO leaving a long tail to create the bumps of the pumpkin. Close the gap by slipping the needle through the FLO and pulling tight.
To create the bumps, you start by inserting your tapestry needle through the hole you just sew up and the MR at the bottom. Pull tight to create the sunken-in look. *Now you will take the needle and insert your needle back through the pumpkin through the top to the bottom like the first time and pull tight. This will create an indent on the outside. Continue to repeat from * 5 more times to create 6 bumps, so wrap around 6 times total. To help get the bumps even you can do one line and then come up and down with the yarn being wrapped around the opposite side to complete the “line” across the pumpkin and continue to do that around the pumpkin. FO and sew in the ends.
