You will work the pumpkin in the round. After the base of the pumpkin, each upper round will display as a spiral, rather than many concentric rounds. Right side (RS) will always be facing you.

You will need to join stitches at the end of each round. Use a stitch marker to keep track of rounds.

Gauge: Circle formed by rounds 1-6 = 4″ across. (Your initial circle at the bottom of the pumpkin should measure 4” diameter after Round 6).

Use polyfill stuffing to stuff pumpkin after Round 20.
