You will use this technique for all of the pumpkin sizes.
Fold the piece so that the textured sides are facing each other.
Chain 1, sc into the front loop only of the working side of the piece, then into a stitch from the foundation chain
Example of sc into the front loop only on working side and a stitch through foundation chain
Continue down the Row. Fasten off and leave an EXTRA long tail.
Using the shorter tail first - complete a running stitch. Insert a yarn needle out through a stitch.
And then in through a stitch. Continuing that pattern until you reach the end.
Cinch the running stitch closed.
Insert your needle to secure the hole - go back and forth a few times. After securing the hole closed, bring your needle to the inside of the piece and finish with a knot
Turn the piece inside out - textured side facing you.
Fill the pumpkin with fiberfill stuffing.
Close the other side with a running stitch. Cinch the hole closed and secure with a knot.
Insert a yarning needle down the top center reaching through to the bottom center.
Re-insert your needle through the bottom center and pull through to the top again.
Pull taut to bring the middle together. Move over a stitch and repeat - doing this a few times. This will give a pumpkin shape.
Make a knot on the bottom of the pumpkin to secure and finish off by weaving in the yarn.
