Work six rapports more by yourself. We should get 8
rapports in total; the total number of rows is 48.
At the end cut the thread, leaving a long thread tail for
sewing the piece. Sew the piece sides in the way shown in the

Needle sculpting:
I use a strong cotton thread СОСО twice folded. The
thread color should be similar to the pumpkin color.
Insert the needle threaded with a strong thread into
the center of our needle sculpting on the bottom and pull out
from the point where we changed the color to brown. Choose
a vertical row with a deepening and pull the thread out, then
reinsert the needle into the center of the needle sculpting

Painting:
The final stage of the pumpkin details is painting. I paint
the pumpkin with hard pastels. Make brown and black tints on
the pumpkin sections across the needle sculpting lines, giving
them depth.

Pumpkin details:
We outline the location of the eyes, nose and mouth
with needles.

Big pumpkin:
For another pumpkin I have chosen yarn of terracotta
color. You can use any color you want. Crochet the other
pumpkin just like the first one, but start with chain of 51 ch,
not 31. All the next steps are similar according the pattern.
Stuff the pumpkin tight! Changing the number of ch in the
starting chain, you can change the size and height of your
pumpkin.
