Design by Jennifer E. Ryan
PATTERN NOTES
Weave in loose ends as work progresses.
Make sure you work in the back loop only for the second round so that you get the fun details down the sides of the pumpkins. Chain-2 at beginning of round does not count as a stitch unless otherwise stated.

With E and tapestry needle, sew each stem to hanging cord. Lightly steam-block and let dry completely.
