Pants and Sneakers Details 

To make the pants details, cut two pieces of fabric in square shapes of your choice and sew the sides onto the pants with black yarn (as shown in the image below). 

Sneaker Laces: 

Using beige yarn, make an X and another one slightly larger below the first one. 

Vest 

In brown 

Work in flat crochet 

1st Row: Chain 23, starting from the second chain, do 1 INC, 20 sc, 1 INC, chain 1, and turn [24] 

2nd Row: 1 sc, 1 INC, chain up 7, skip 7 stitches, 2 sc, 1 INC, 3 sc, chain up 7, skip 7 stitches, 1 INC, 1 sc, chain 1, and turn [27] 

3rd-5th Row: 27 sc, chain 1, and turn [27] – 3 rows 

6th Row: 27 sc 

Note: If you want a larger vest, simply continue with more rows. 

At the end, make 1 sc in the last stitch worked in the last row, and then sc all around the vest to finish the edges. At the corners, make 1 INC, fasten off, and hide the yarn end. 

(Optional): Sew two buttons of your choice on one side of the vest. 

Pumpkin Head 

In orange 

1st Row: Chain 22, starting from the second chain, do 21 sc, chain 1, and turn 

2nd-37th Row: In BLO, 21 sc, chain 1, and turn 

38th Row: 21 sc 

Fold the rectangle in half and join the side edges with 21 slip stitches (see images 2 and 3). 

Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail, and with a tapestry needle, pass the yarn through the top, making a running stitch, pull it tight to close the hole, shape it by pushing it inside to make it easier (images 4 and 5). 

Add some stuffing, do the same to close the other side (if needed, insert a new yarn for sewing), and before pulling and closing everything, add more stuffing until the correct shape is achieved (if you have long tweezers, you can use them to adjust and make it more uniform). 

Trunk and Leaf 

In green 

1st Row: 6 sc in magic ring [6] 

2nd Row: (1 sc, 3 chains) x 6 [6] 

Finish with 1 slip stitch, chain up 4, and make 3 half double crochets (one in each chain starting from the 2nd chain). 

Cut a long yarn end, fasten off, and sew it in the center to form the trunk. Then, sew it to the top of the pumpkin. 

In purple 

Scarf 

Work in flat crochet 

1st Row: Chain 66, starting from the second chain, do 65 sc, chain 1, and turn 

2nd Row: In BLO, 65 sc 

Cut the yarn and fasten off. 

Finishing 

Sew the pumpkin head onto the body. 

Position the eyes with 6 visible stitches between them (I did it by eye). Put a bit of glue on the end of the eye stalk and glue it to the pumpkin where you marked. 

Create the eye expression with white yarn, the cheeks with pink yarn, and embroider the eyebrows with thin black thread.
