Legend:
ch – air loop.
sc – single crochet.
ps – half-column.
sl-st – connecting post.
pp – skip one loop.
p2p – skip two loops.
increase – 2 sc knit from one loop.
decavage – 2 sc tied together.
(….)* – repeat the specified number of times.
(….) – the number of columns in a row or the number of rows.
The pumpkin is knitted in the right arc of the loop, in the round.
1) 8 sc in amigurumi ring.
2) Increase*8 (16 sc).
3) (1 sc, increase)*8 (24 sc).
4) (2 sc, increase)*8 (32 sc).
5) (3 sc, increase)*8 (40 sc).
6) (4 sc, increase)*8 (48 sc).
7) (5 sc, increase)*8 (56 sc).
8) (6 sc, increase)*8 (64 sc).
9) (7 sc, increase)*8 (72 sc).
10) 72 sc.
11) (8 sc, increase)*8 (80 sc).
12)-13) 80 sc.
14) (9 sc, increase)*8 (88 sc).
15)-25) 88 sc (11 rows).
26) (decavator, 9 sc)*8 (80 sc).
27)-28) 80 sc.
29) (decavate, 8 sc)*8 (72 sc).
30) 72 sc.

Stuff the pumpkin. It’s better not to stuff it too tightly.
36) (decavate, 2 sc)*8 (24 sc).
37) (decavate, 1 sc)*8 (16 sc).
38) decap*8 (8sc).
Tighten the remaining hole with a needle, leaving a long thread for tightening.
The result is a ball. Now we need to make strings to give it the shape of a pumpkin.
The first tightening is done in the center.
Then eight strings are made on the sides.
The drawstrings can be different in width, this will make the knitted pumpkin more similar to
real pumpkin.
Mustache
Two elements are knitted, 7 and 10 cm.
1) Knit a chain of ch 7 cm.
2) sc.
3) Dilute PVA glue 1:1 with water, moisten the connected elements with the resulting solution,
shape them and dry them.
Cutting
1) Tie 8 sc into an amigurumi ring.
2)-5) 8 sc (4 rows).
6) 3 sl-st, 5 sc.
7) 8 sc.
8) 3 sl-st, 5 sc.
9) 8 sc.
10) 3 sl-st, 5 sc.
11) 8 sc.
12) (3 sc, increase)*2 (10 sc).
13)-14) 10 sc.
15) (4 sc, increase)*2 (12 sc).
16) 12 sc.
17) (2 sc, increase)*4 (16 sc).
18) (1 sc, increase)*8 (24 sc).
19) 24 sc.
