For this project, you will need:

Yarn in 4 colors: orange, green, black, and white. The size of your pumpkin depends on the thickness of the chosen yarn (thinner yarn results in a smaller pumpkin, and vice versa). I used Kirovsky Iris and Pekhorka Openwork yarn. The height of the toy is approximately 12 cm.
Polyester fiberfill or any stuffing of your choice.
Copper wire with a diameter of 3 mm for armature of the arms.
Black half beads with diameters of 8 – 10 mm.
Crochet hook size 1.25 mm.
Needle for stuffing the head and embroidering the body.
Moment Crystal glue.

Let’s get started.
