Simple, sturdy tubes in contrasting autumn shades to top off your pumpkins.

4. WithMe signature heart

The same little heart sits on every WithMe original — our way of signing it with love. Use any contrast colour from the project.

• Round 1: 3 tr, 3 dc, ch, tr, ch, 3 dc, 3 tr in a magic ring [15] — Ch 3 first (it doesn't count as a stitch). After the last stitch, ch 3 and sl st into the ring, then pull the ring tight — the dip at the top of the heart forms as you pull.

1. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing the heart in place.

Finishing

1. Top up the stuffing so both pumpkins are firm, plump and round.
2. Weave the tail of each pumpkin through the front loops of its last round and pull tight to close the top.
3. Make the pumpkin segments: thread a long length of matching yarn, push the needle down through the centre from top to bottom, bring it back up around the outside and repeat 5 times, spacing the wraps evenly. Pull gently so each wrap sinks in and forms a segment, then secure underneath.
4. Sew the sage stem to the top centre of the blush pumpkin and the dusty rose stem to the cream pumpkin.
5. Sew the signature heart to the front of the blush pumpkin, between two segments.
6. Weave in all ends.

Tips from the WithMe studio

• For a perfectly round shape, add a bit more stuffing to the center than the edges.
• If your tension is loose, try sizing down your hook to keep the stuffing hidden.
