Crochet 2 extra sc, 1 sl st, cut the yarn, fasten off, tighten
the hole, weave in the ends.
Shape the pumpkin with a needle
sculpting.
First, mark the pumpkin with pins into 6
equal parts.
Take a long needle and a strong thread.
Insert a needle into the base of the pumpkin
and stretch the thread so that a small end
remains. Make 2 stitches in the same place
to secure the thread.
Designer Ekaterina Chirkova @chirka_toys
Insert the needle between rounds 1 and 2 of the pumpkin at the
level of the pin and exit it through the base of the stem, focusing
again on the pin. You should get a straight line from the base to
the stem of the pumpkin. Apply exactly the thread in the place of
the future tightening, squeeze the pumpkin with your fingers and
insert the needle in the same place where we started, BUT exit it
through a new place at the stem, focusing on another pin, form
the second tightening.
Squeeze the pumpkin and the working
thread a little with your fingers so that
the ties are properly formed.
Designer Ekaterina Chirkova @chirka_toys
After we have done all the
tightening, exit the needle
through next to the end of
the thread, which we left at
the very beginning. Cut off
the excess and tie a couple
of knots, hide the ends.
Tendril
Make the required number of chains,
starting in the second chain from the
hook, crochet 2 sc in each chain. The
number of chains depends on the
desired length of your tendril.
Cut the yarn, leaving a long end for
sewing to the pumpkin.
