Pumpkin The pumpkin is crocheted in the front loop of the stitches, in a circle. 1) 8 sc in a magic ring. 2) Increase*8 (16 sc). 3) (1 sc, increase)*8 (24 sc). 4) (2 sc, increase)*8 (32 sc). 5) (3 sc, increase)*8 (40 sc). 6) (4 sc, increase)*8 (48 sc). 7) (5 sc, increase)*8 (56 sc). 8) (6 sc, increase)*8 (64 sc). 9) (7 sc, increase)*8 (72 sc). 10) 72 sc. 11) (8 sc, increase)*8 (80 sc). 12)-13) 80 sc. 14) (9 sc, increase)*8 (88 sc). 15)-25) 88 sc (11 rows). 26) (decrease, 9 sc)*8 (80 sc). 27)-28) 80 sc. 29) (decrease, 8 sc)*8 (72 sc). 30) 72 sc. 31) (decrease, 7 sc)*8 (64 sc). 32) (decrease, 6 sc)*8 (56 sc). 33) (decrease, 5 sc)*8 (48 sc). 34) (decrease, 4 sc)*8 (40 sc). 35) (decrease, 3 sc)*8 (32 sc). Stuff the pumpkin. It is better to stuff it not too tightly. 36) (decrease, 2 sc)*8 (24 sc). 37) (decrease, 1 sc)*8 (16 sc). 38) decrease*8 (8 sc). Pull the remaining hole closed with a needle, leaving a long thread for tightening. A ball has formed. Now you need to make indentations to give it the shape of a pumpkin. The first indentation is made in the center.

Then, eight indentations are made on the sides.

The indentations can vary in width, which gives the knitted pumpkin a greater resemblance to a real pumpkin. Whiskers Two elements are knitted, 7 and 10 cm. 1) Crochet a chain of ch 7 cm. 2) sc. 3) Dilute PVA glue with water 1:1, moisten the crocheted elements with the resulting solution, shape them, and let dry.
