Don't add too much fiberfill. Otherwise, it will be harder to form the segments.
Close with a reverse magic ring (use a tapestry needle #16, passing the yarn inside all the stitches with an up-down movement, and pull to close). Fasten off and hide the end of the yarn inside the piece.
With a tapestry needle and yarn the same color as the pumpkin, pass the yarn underneath and bring it out at the center of the top of the pumpkin. Then, wrap the yarn around the outside – adjusting to form the segment – and bring it through the bottom center again. Repeat until you have 6 segments.
STEM – Use color #5398 (Moss)

Sew the stem to the center of the pumpkin, at the top, using a tapestry needle #16, passing through the inside of the pumpkin and over the stem stitches.
