Thread a long tail of orange yarn into your tapestry needle. Sew around the top edge of the tube, pull tight to gather and close the bottom, and knot securely.
Start stuffing the pumpkin with cotton or polyfill, layer by layer, until it is plump.
Get a very long tail of yarn to make the slices. Sew around the top edge and pull tight to close the top hole.
Wrap the long tail around the outside of the pumpkin from top to bottom, pulling tightly each time to create the pumpkin’s slices (ridges). Secure with a knot and weave in the end.
