No Slip Stitch Given Pumpkin

Just like its namesake, the No Slip Stitch Given Pumpkin involves (almost) no slip stitches.
Do you love the faux-knit look that the slip stitch pattern creates, but hate how long it takes to work up? Me too! So, I came up with this super-duper easy pumpkin design which works up quickly and hassle-free, like you just don’t give a slip stitch!

You’ll first work the body of the pumpkin flat, then you’ll join the two short edges together to form a tube. Easy-peasy! The leaf design will pique your interest with its clever short-row-like construction, and the tendrils and stem will bring a realistic touch.

This pattern is available in English only and uses standard US crochet terminology.
