Tutor’s Suggestions
- Customizing Size: Adjust the chain length depending on how large or small you want your pumpkin.
- Working the Last Stitch: For the last half-double crochet stitch, you can work into the full stitch instead of the back loops for better ease on corners.
- Placement of Decorations: Lay out the felt pieces and stuffing first before finalizing with the glue gun to ensure perfect placement.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Pumpkin Base (Orange Yarn)
- Create a slip knot and chain 31 stitches.
- Work half-double crochet into the 2nd chain from the hook, and repeat to the end of the row (30 stitches).
- At the end of each row, chain two, turn the work, and only crochet into the back loops of the stitches.
- Repeat this process until you complete 40 rows, or until you achieve the desired size for the pumpkin.
2. Pumpkin Stem (Brown Yarn)
- Start with a chain of 7 stitches. Use half-double crochet for all rows into the entire stitch—not back loops.
- Continue until the length of the stem fits the top of the orange piece when folded.
- Use a slip stitch technique to close the brown stem piece into a tube.
3. Assembling the Bag
- Fold the orange piece in half and use a slip stitch to seam the sides together.
- Turn the pumpkin inside out to hide the seams.
- Sew the bottom opening of the pumpkin by threading yarn through alternating stitches and pulling it tight to close. Secure the bottom with additional sewing.
4. Attach the Stem
- Use the brown tail yarn to securely stitch the stem onto the top center of the pumpkin bag.
5. Drawstring Closure (Green Yarn)
- Create a chain (suggested 80 or 90 stitches) long enough to wrap around the pumpkin’s top with room to tie a bow.
- Weave the green chain through the top of the pumpkin, just below the stem.
6. Decorate the Face
- Cut triangles for eyes and nose out of black felt.
- Freehand the mouth, creating a zigzag or smile pattern. Trim to fit your pumpkin.
- Use a hot glue gun to attach these pieces.
- Stuff the pumpkin lightly to adjust and decide placement, then finish gluing.
7. Finishing
- Remove the stuffing and fill the bag with candy or treats.
- Tighten the green drawstring with a bow to secure.
