Stitch notes:
Increase stitches by adding two double crochet stitches into one stitch
Decrease stitches by crocheting two double crochet stitches together:
o insert hook under first stitch, yarn over, pull loop through,
o insert hook into next stitch, yarn over, pull loop through,
o yarn over, pull hook through all three loops on the hook.
For an invisible decrease, insert hook into front loops of both stitches then yarn over and pull
through two loops. Yarn over and pull hook through both loops on the hook.
Use a stitch marker to mark the first dc in each round.
Add stuffing, taking care not to overstuff as this will stretch the stitches and you will
see the stuffing through the stitches.
R27. (2dc tog (dec), 1dc into the next stitch) repeat 6 times [12 sts]
R28. (2dc tog (dec) repeat 6 times [6sts]
Cut yarn leaving a tail thread 50 cm long.
Stitch notes:
Picot = ch1, ss into the base of the ch1
dtr = wrap yarn round hook twice before inserting into stitch. Yo, pull loop through,
you should have 4 loops on the hook. *Yo take 2 loops off*, repeat ** until you have
one loop left on the hook.
trtr = wrap yarn round hook three times before inserting into stitch. Yo, pull loop
through, you should have 5 loops on the hook. *Yo take 2 loops off*, repeat ** until
you have one loop left on the hook.

3. (dc,htr)
4. (tr, dtr, ch3, ss)
5. (dc, htr)
6. (tr, dtr)
7. (trtr, picot, trtr)
8. (dtr, tr)
9. (htr, dc)
10. (ss, ch3, dtr, tr)
11. (htr, dc, ss)
12. (ch2, tr)

14. Crochet the stem: ss, ch6, ss back along the chain (i.e., miss one chain, ss into back
loop only of 4 chains), ss into the final (15th) stitch*.
*For a neat finish, take out hook and insert from reverse through the top of the (15th)
stitch and pull chain through to the back, fasten off leaving a tail end long enough for
sewing the leaf to the pumpkin stem.
