6	Embroider, sew, or glue on eyes and mouth

You can whip stitch two together for a puffier (and more finished) 3D creation.  This results in a piece perfect for gift tags, hanging decorations, and little toys.

Simply leave a long tail for sewing and do not add eyes or mouth on one of the two pieces.  Line the two finished pieces up together, back to back.  Being sure to keep the stitches in line, use the tail to whip stitch the pieces together.  Fasten off and weave in the loose end.

Down at the Patch

Lil punkins just in time for Autumn!  So easy to make, you could whip up a whole patch in no time.  Great for Halloween favors, Thanksgiving place holders, decorations, little toys, gift tags, embellishments, you name it!

About the Pattern

This pattern is joined at the end of each round.  Each round is started with a chain.  The chain does not count as a stitch.   When you join, you will always join into the stitch just after the chain.

You can whip stitch two together for a puffier (and more finished) 3D creation.  This results in a piece perfect for gift tags, hanging decorations, and little toys.  For table place-card holders, only stitch the bottom together so that a card can be held between the two pieces.

Here is the pattern for the back piece:

4	Line the back piece up with the front, with the wrong-sides facing each other.  Whip stitch the pieces together, avoiding the stem, and keeping the stitches lined up evenly.  Fo, weave in the loose end.

How you embellish these little guys is totally up to you!  Embroider or add google eyes, beads, or buttons.  Enjoy!
