Round 4 (Shaping the Pumpkin):

• Work 1 dc in each of the next 5 stitches.
• Tr, then work tr inc (2 tr in the same stitch).
• Work tr inc again, but with 3 tr in the same stitch.
• In the next stitch, work tr + dc together (in the same stitch).

• Make a final sl st, fasten off, and weave in ends.

• In the sixth stitch, make 1 sl st.

Adding the Vine:

• After the last sl st, ch 15.
• Starting from the second chain from the hook, work sc inc in each chain. This will create a curly vine.
• Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

Crochet Pumpkin Stem

Row 1: Work 1 sc in each of the next 3 chains. Ch 1 and turn. Row 2: Work 1 sc in each stitch across (3). Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

Assembly

• Attach the stem to the top indent of the pumpkin.
• Sew the leaf and vine near the stem, leaving space for a coffee cup to rest.
• Ensure all parts are securely sewn, and weave in any loose ends.
