Frame-by-Frame Guide

Frames 00:00 – 00:02:
Lay the white sock flat. Use a pen to mark a straight line across the ankle, then cut along the line with scissors to keep the foot section.
Frame 00:03:
Fill the cut white sock with plush stuffing until it forms a soft, round ball.
Frames 00:04 – 00:06:
Lay several strands of twine flat in a star/radial pattern and place the stuffed sock in the center. Gather the top opening of the sock and pull each twine strand up tightly along the sides. Tie them together at the top to create the segmented pumpkin ridges.
Frames 00:07 – 00:08:
Lay out the brown fuzzy sock and cut out shapes for two small boots/legs and a top stem.
Frame 00:09:
Use a needle and thread to sew the edges of the brown leg pieces together.
Frame 00:10:
Wrap extra twine neatly around the gathered top of the pumpkin to create a clean base for the stem.
Frames 00:11 – 00:12:
Attach the brown stem to the top and sew the two legs onto the bottom front. Add two black beads for the eyes and stitch a smiling mouth using black thread to complete the plushie.
