Doing it into a sc is easier than it sounds: Insert hook into both loops, then insert hook into the BACK of both loops of the NEXT stitch. Then finish like a normal sc.<br \/>\nIdentifying stitches when a fps is involved can be a little tricky. Once placed, the stitch afterwards likes to &#8220;disappear&#8221; behind it. That&#8217;s why this pattern involves just skipping that stitch instead of trying to fish it back out.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern:<br \/>\nStart with Orange, Yellow, or other desired main pumpkin color.<\/p>\n<p><input type=\"checkbox\"\/>1.
