Finish
- Pull the starting yarn tail tight to close the magic ring, use a darning needle to weave in the end secure it in place, and cut excess yarn.Weave in the ends of the pumpkin stem.Position the leaf and tendril at the base of the stem and at the top edge of the pumpkin. Secure them in place with a few stitches, ensuring the tendril does not fall onto the pumpkin where the cup will sit.When sewing the tendril in place, twist it a few times to the point where it meets the base of the leaf.By twisting the tendril, you will avoid creating a straight edge on the tendril.
