Pattern instructions:
For the pumpkin:
Chain 51 sts.
Turn the chain over and Single Crochet in the front loop of each chain.
Once the row is finished, make a turning chain and turn the work over. Single crochet in the front loop of each chain. Repeat, making a turning chain each time you finish a row. Work until your piece measures 26 inches.
Finishing:
Once you are finished crocheting, fold the piece over and slip stitch the side seam. Turn the piece inside out.
Make a running stitch (by weaving in and out) around the bottom of the pumpkin. Pull to gather until the opening is closed. Make a knot.
Once you stuff the pumpkin it will take on a rounded shape. Use a liberal amount of stuffing so it easily stands upright. Make another running stitch along the top. Pull to gather and knot to secure.
For the cat:
Chain 31
Turn the chain over and Single Crochet in the front loop of each chain.
Once the row is finished, make a turning chain and turn the work over. Single crochet in the front loop of each chain. Repeat, making a turning chain each time you finish a row. Work until your piece measures 12 inches.

For the Pumpkin Stem:
There’s no exact pattern for crocheting the stem. Pick up stitches around the top of the stem and make a single crochet around the top of the pumpkin. Work for a few rounds until the stem is as long as you like.
