The segments are pulled in afterwards: thread a long tail onto a needle, pass it from the centre of the base up through to the centre of the top, pull firm, and repeat evenly around until you have the number of ribs you like — eight gives the shape in the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe head\u003c\/strong\u003e is a separate 48-stitch ball with \u003cstrong\u003e8 mm bead safety eyes set between rounds 13 and 14, five stitches apart\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a small 18-stitch muzzle sewn on close to the eyes with the nose embroidered before it goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ears use a half-closed magic ring\u003c\/strong\u003e — you work eight stitches into the ring but deliberately don't pull it fully shut, leaving part of it straight, then chain one, turn and work back. That gives a flat ear with a straight base that sits against the head properly instead of a cupped circle you have to fold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe hat\u003c\/strong\u003e is its own mini pumpkin: a 24-stitch base finished with a back-loop round for a crisp rim, a stem from a 12-stitch circle, and a little 5-stitch strip sewn on to make the curl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSkills \u0026amp; materials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntermediate.\u003c\/strong\u003e Magic ring, sc, inc, dec, BLO, reverse magic ring, and assembly of eight separate pieces.
